Biographical note
Henryk Grossman (18811950) was the most important Marxist economist of the Twentith Century. He was a founding leader of the Jewish Social Democratic Party of Galicia and later a member of the Polish Communist Workers Party. After holding posts as a senior public servant and professor in Poland, he was a member of the Institute for Social Research in Germany and, following the Nazi takeover, in exile. Dr Rick Kuhn is an honorary associate professor in Sociology at the Australian National University and long term socialist activist, who has written extensively on Marxist theory as well as Australian politics and political economy. His Henryk Grossman and the Recovery of Marxism won the 2007 Deutscher Prize.“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."
