A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Page references thus usually indicate the original foreign sources. In so far as possible, however, I have availed myself of existing translations and have referred to the following standard works: Karl Marx: Capital, vol. i (transl. by Moore-A veling, London, 1920); vol. ii (transl. by E. Untermann, Chicago, 1907); vol. iii (transl. by E. Untermann, Chicago, 1909) The Poverty of Philosophy (translator sname not given, London, 1936). Sismondi sintroduction to the second edition of Nouveaux Principes is quoted from M. Mignet stranslation of selected passages by Sismondi, entitled Political Economy and the Philosophy of Government, London, 1847. No English translation exists of Marx s Theorien ber den Mehrwert. Unfortunately, not all the West European texts, and none of the Russian except Engels correspondence with Nikolayon were accessible to me, and I regret having been unable to trace some quotations and check up on others. In such cases, the English version follows the German text and will at least bring out the point the author wanted to make. To save the reader grappling with unfamiliar concepts, I have converted foreign currencies and measures into their English equivalents, at the following rates: 20 marks 25 francs $5 -1 (gold standard); i hectare (roughly) 2-5 acres; i kilometre fmile. I am glad of this opportunity to express my gratitude to Dr. W. Stark and Mrs. J. Robinson for the helpful criticism and appreciation with which my work has met.
