Reviews
Grossman was an invaluable contributor to the development of Marxist political economy since Marx's death in 1883. An activist in the Polish Social Democrat party and later in the Communist party in Germany, Grossman, in my view, made major contributions in explaining and developing Marx's theory of value and crises under capitalism. Michael Roberts, author of The Long Depression Henryk Grossman (1881-1950) was one of the most significant Marxist theoreticians in the fields of political economy and the history of scientific thought in the first half of the twentieth century. . .the publication of this collection of five long essays or 'monographs', mostly devoted to the history and development of economic theory, is very welcome.
