Preface -- I. The requirements of a theory of value -- II. Classical political economy -- III. Classical political economy and Marx -- IV. Economic crises -- V. The trend of modern economics -- VI. Concerning frictions and expectations: Certain recent tendencies in economic theory -- VII. Imperialism -- VIII.

Summary: "The selection of themes has not, however, been a random one. It has been guided by the opinion that Political Economy and the controversies which beset it have meaning as answers to certain questions of an essentially practical kind - questions concerning the nature and behaviour of the economic system which we know as capitalism; and that this type of question is crucial both to any full understanding of the development of economic thought and to the relation between economic thought and practice." -- From the preface.
