DOBB (Maurice).
Historical Materialism and the Role of the Economic Factor.
Inscribed by the author ‘With regards, Maurice’ in black ink to the front cover, with manuscript attribution of authorship below in a different hand.
An article in which Dobb undertook ‘the refutation - rather successfully - of the thesis that the Marxist theory of history in magnifying the economic factor has practically nullified all other cultural factors and has, in fact, reduced man himself to mere robot dancing to the tune of change in the production’ (Arthur B. Anthony in the Southern Economic Journal).
