I have no idea what you think Marxist theory is. If spelling out (A) and (B) in your own words takes too much time, you might cite representative sources that in your opinion adequately sum up (A) and (B).

Marxist theory (Marx + the Marxist tradition) is spare, elegant, and flexible, and I don't see any necessity to make fundamental changes in what it has to say about the essence of capitalism in order to explain the causes and effects of its recent development. I'm simply asking what specific theoretical changes you think you need to make. Otherwise, the conversation ends here, as I have no clue what changes you have in your mind. -- Yoshie
