Biographie de l'auteur :

Paul Sweezy was born on April 10, 1910 in New York City, the youngest of three sons of Everett B. Sweezy, a vice-president of First National Bank of New York.[1] His mother, Caroline Wilson Sweezy, was a graduate of Goucher College in Baltimore.[1] Sweezy attended Phillips Exeter Academy and went on to Harvard and was editor of The Harvard Crimson, graduating magna cum laude in 1932.[1] Having completed his undergraduate coursework, his interests shifted from journalism to economics. Sweezy spent the 1931 32 academic year taking courses at the London School of Economics, traveling to Vienna to study on breaks.[1] It was at this time that Sweezy was first exposed to Marxian economic ideas.[1] He made the acquaintance of Joan Robinson and other young left-wing British economic thinkers of the day.[1] Upon his return to the United States, Sweezy again enrolled at Harvard, from which he received his doctorate degree in 1937. Sweezy was deeply impacted through his interaction with the economist Joseph Schumpeter, becoming fast friends for life with the conservative thinker. Later, as colleagues, their debates on the Laws of Capitalism were of legendary status for a generation of Harvard economists.[2] While at Harvard, Sweezy founded the academic journal The Review of Economic Studies and published essays on imperfect competition, the role of expectations in the determination of supply and demand, and the problem of economic stagnation

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

The debate on the transition from feudalism to capitalism, published in Science and Society in the early 1950s, is one of the most famous episodes in the development of Marxist historiography since the war. It pitted many distinguished experts against each other in a common, critical discussion. Significant new materials have been added since the first publication of the original debate. Rodney Hilton has written a special introductory essay, reconsidering and summarising relevant scholarship in the two decades since the publication of the original discussion.
