Summary: "Surely it must be possible... to build some sort of bridge between Marxian economists and their non-Marxian colleagues so that the latter can at least be made to see what he former are trying to get at... I thought that the adoption of a genetical approach to the labour theory might help: if one showed how it had evolved... its general character and the nature of the job it tries to do might emerge rather more clearly. My aim was to try to persuade since but skeptical non-Marxian economists that the intellectual quality of the labour theory of value, and indeed of Marx's economic teaching as a whole has been seriously underestimated" -- Preface.
