This contribution briefly reviews the role of various debates in Capital & Class and its predecessor, the Bulletin of the Conference of Socialist Economists, in the development of my own work over the last 25 years. These debates concern Marxist state theory; Fordism and post-Fordism; the regulation approach; the relevance of autopoiesis to Marxist analysis; and, most recently, critical realism. Other issues and problems have also influenced my work, of course, but several important theoretical turns have been prompted by challenges raised by CSE members.
