"We wrote this book to accomplish two broad goals. First, we wanted to produce an introduction to Marxian economics that would incorporate several major analytical breakthroughs achieved in Marxism in the last twenty-five years. Second, we wanted to define and develop that introduction in relation to the dominant economic theory taught explicitly in the United States and prevalent implicitly within most readers' minds. From many years of teaching introductory courses, we have learned that discussing Marxian theory in the context of a sustained comparison with neoclassical theory is the most effective method of presentation." -- From "To our readers".
