ABSTRACT
If I had to give a single example of the exceptional discursive power that neoclassical method attained via its dance of the meta-axioms (see Chapter 1), it would be the emergence, sometime in the late 1970s and the 1980s, of a group of Marxist scholars calling themselves ‘Rational Choice Marxists’ (RCMs), with John Roemer and Jon Elster as their avant-garde. As I shall be arguing below, their proclaimed Rational Choice Marxism was no more than an attempt to cloak a Marxist narrative in neoclassical clothes.
