Description

Long awaited, this volume offers the first full English language translation of Henryk Grossman's The Law of Accumulation.

The Law of Accumulation and Breakdown of the Capitalist System, Being also a Theory of Crises was Henryk Grossman's most important, influential, and also most denounced work. As official Communist economic thought was petrifying, to comply with the needs of the Stalinist state in Russia, Grossman's book challenged the developing dogma.

Combining Marx's method and insights with a comprehensive assessment of the very substantial literature on crisis theory, Grossman demonstrated how the capitalist system, even under supposedly ideal conditions, will break down economically. Grossman's recovery of Marx's explanations for capitalism's crises and tendency to break down is as timely as ever, and thanks to Jairus Banaji and Rick Kuhn, this wonderful, first full English translation is now available.

The Law of Accumulation is the third of four volumes of Grossman's works.
