Anwar Shaikh es un economista marxista de origen paquistaní que estudió en los Estados Unidos, país en el que reside.

Principales objetos de estudio

Este autor se caracteriza por haber encontrado respuestas a diversos interrogantes sembrados en torno al análisis marxista. En particular, se destacan sus progresos en lo referente a la transformación de valores en precios y la teoría del comercio internacional. Su propósito es no solamente recuperar el análisis teórico marxista sino también robustecerlo con una fuerte dosis de análisis empírico de cuentas nacionales. De esta forma, escapa al terreno de la teoría para brindar herramientas prácticas que permitan validar los enfoques de la teoría del valor.

Shaikh dedica gran parte de sus discusiones a debatir con otras escuelas teóricas como la Neoclásica, la neorricardiana o la keynesiana. La profundidad de su análisis le ha permitido ganarse el reconocimiento de sus pares y dentro del campo de la izquierda, la simpatía de las corrientes marxista.

• Ph.D in Economics, Columbia University, 1973.
