DOBB (Maurice). &
FEINSTEIN (Charles Hilliard). Editor.
Socialism, Capitalism and Economic Growth. Essays Presented to Maurice Dobb. [with:] Typed Letter Signed ('Maurice Dobb') to Paul Sweezy.
A nice association copy linking two of the most prominent Marxist economists of the twentieth century, from the library of Paul Sweezy and with a Typed Letter Signed from Maurice Dobb loosely inserted. Dobb writes to thank Sweezy for his contribution to the present collection of essays written in his honour:
‘I feel that I must write and express my warm gratitude to you for the contribution that you were so generous as to make to the volume of essays of which an advance-copy was presented to me last week. Your presence in it, as well as the subject of your contribution, will, I am sure, enhance the value of the volume quite as much for its readers as it does for me. Thank you very much indeed.’
Sweezy’s contribution is titled ‘Obstacles to Economic Development’. The list of other contributors is remarkable, including Leif Johansen, Robert Solow, Amartya Sen, Michal Kalecki, Jan Tinbergen, Oskar Lange, and Joan Robinson, amongst others.
