About this Item

"Since its first publication in 1942, this book has become the classic analytical study of Marxist economics. Written by an economist who is a master of modern academic theory as well as Marxist literature, it has been recognized as the ideal textbook in its subject. Comprehensive, lucid, authoritative, it has not been challenged or even approached by any later study. As a work in political economy, this book begins with the simplest elements of Marx's thought, his method, use of abstraction, and analysis of the commodity and of the relations between labor and capital, and concludes with the most complex categories of modern society: the historical tendencies of the capitalist system, corporations, international economy, fascism, and imperialism." --- PB-79. --- First Published 1942.
