Full Description
A new English translation of Isaak Illich Rubin's classic Essays on Marx's Theory of Value.
First published in the Soviet Union in 1923, Rubin's book sparked a fierce value controversy with contemporary Soviet economists during the late 1920s. As such, the present translation is conceived as a variorum edition, including all the essential supplementary materials related to this foundational work in Marx's value theory, published here in English for the first time. In addition to Rubin's main work, this edition includes his four most important related publications, as well as ten debate articles written and published by his contemporary proponents and opponents.
