Summary: This book is written as a textbook to be used in classes and by individual students. The publisher noted, "The study of political economy by English-speaking students has hitherto been rendered difficult by the paucity of books in English dealing with Marxist economics." They go on to note that although translations of Capital and a number of books dealing with various points of Marxist economics are available, "a textbook dealing thoroughly with political economy has been lacking.... In addition to being a general course in economics, as the sub-title indicates, the book deals particularly with the economics of the Soviet Union. The authors' analysis of productive forms in the Soviet Union makes a contribution to the study of conditions in the Soviet Union that was much needed."
