The American Marxist economist Paul Marlor Sweezy’s (1910-2004) major work, a comprehensive review of Marxian economics up until the time of the Second World War, originally published in America in 1942. The present UK edition includes a foreword by Maurice Dobb, who praises Sweezy’s work as “the most understanding and illuminating interpretation of Marx’s theory of value that has appeared in recent times” (p. v). A difficult book to find in acceptable condition.
