This volume includes essential texts—many available here in English for the first time; some available for the first time in any language—by the influential revolutionary Marxist Henryk Grossman. This collection pulls from monographs, articles, essays, letters, and manuscript material to assemble Grossman's most important contributions on economic theory. The first in four volumes of Grossman's works, this collection provides the basis for a deeper understanding of his contribution to Marxist economic theory and the critique of bourgeois economics. Rick Kuhn's essential introduction explains the contexts in which the pieces were written and establishes their contemporary relevance.
Henryk Grossman (1881–1950) was the preeminent Marxist economist of the twentieth century. He was the founding theoretician and secretary of the Jewish Social Democratic Party of Galicia, a Professor at the Free University of Warsaw later, as a member of the Institute for Social Research, at the University of Frankfurt, and then at the University of Leipzig.
Rick Kuhn is a member of Socialist Alternative in Australia. He wrote the Deutscher Prize winning biography Henryk Grossman and the Recovery of Marxism (University of Illinois, 2008) and is an honorary associate professor at the Australian National University.
