Paradigm Lost [PDF ebook] 
Cultural and Systems Theoretical Critique of Political Economy

This sequel to ‘Man and the Biosphere’ is an account of the origins and development of a cultural, social energetic and systems theoretical contribution to critical Marxism. It examines: the intellectual contributions of the Russian philosophers, A.A. Bogdanov and A.I. Bukharin; Bogdanov”s and Bukharin”s contributions as a search for a unity of scientific knowledge; and a paradigmatic change from a closed mechanical system to an open systems paradigm.
