Part three, after: Value in the history of economic thought -- Marginalism and Marxism -- The rise and fall of the concept of the economic machine.
Summary: "In Part One, I am concerned in particular with the work of Adam Smith, with which in a very real sense both Marxian and modern economics began. In Part Two, the main theme is Marx's theory of value and distribution, with particular reference to the so-called 'transformation problem' around which so many of the modern debates are centred. In Part Three, I turn to modern economics, discussing some of its links with the past and prospects for the future." -- From the preface.
