"In this first volume we take the history of Marxian economics from the death of Karl Marx 1883 to 1929, the year which saw both the onset of the Great Depression in the capitalist world and the beginnings of Stalin's 'revolution from above' which subsequently transformed the Soviet Union in to a modern superpower. The second volume of this work will bring the story of Marxian political economy up to the present day." -- From the introduction.
