The rich correspondence that preceded the publication of Monopoly
Capital Paul A. Baran and Paul M. Sweezy were two of the leading
Marxist economists of the twentieth century. Their seminal work,
Monopoly Capital: An Essay on the American Economic and Social
Order, published in 1966, two years after Baran's death, was in
many respects the culmination of fifteen years of correspondence
between the two, from 1949 to 1964. During those years, Baran, a
professor of economics at Stanford, and Sweezy, a former professor
of economics at Harvard, then co-editing Monthly Review in New York
City, were separated by three thousand miles. Their intellectual
collaboration required that they write letters to one another
frequently and, in the years closer to 1964, almost daily. Their
surviving correspondence consists of some one thousand letters. The
letters selected for this volume illuminate not only the
development of the political economy that was to form the basis of
Monopoly Capital, but also the historical context--the McCarthy
Era, the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis--in which these
thinkers were forced to struggle. Not since Marx and Engels carried
on their epistolary correspondence has there has been a collection
of letters offering such a detailed look at the making of a
prescient critique of political economy--and at the historical
conditions from which that critique was formed.
