Political Economy (1954)

This textbook, Political Economy (1954), was prepared by the Economics Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R. as an overview of the entirety of Marxist political economy of capitalism and Soviet socialism. Tracking the development of society from our primitive beginnings through to capitalism, Political Economy provides detailed explanations of commodity production, capital accumulation, value and surplus-value, the tendency of the rate of profit to fall, and the imperialism of monopoly capitalism. Its focus then moves on to the development of socialism and the gradual transition to communism, describing the functions and components of the Soviet economy in meticulous detail. The value of a resource with depth and magnitude such as this is immediately apparent.

Solidarity Press has drawn on three different digital reproductions to restore all of the content into one volume, correcting countless typographical errors, recreating all of the tables and charts, painstakingly bringing this work back to life.

DISCLAIMER: The shipping fee for the hardcover version is quite high and unfortunately out of our control. Despite this, the total cost of the hardcover textbook is still competitive when compared to other academic textbooks, which regularly retail for $120+ AUD. We are also offering a paperback copy at a more affordable price, but would like to warn that the weight of the textbook given time will warp the cover. If you can afford the hardcover, or would rather save for a copy that will display nicely on your bookshelf, we highly recommend purchasing it.

Lulu sets its own shipping rates, which can be expensive. For this reason, we encourage you to order any books of interest together at once to save some of the cost.
