This definitive edition of the Communist Manifesto, prepared for
its 150th anniversary, includes a foreword by Marxist scholar Paul
M. Sweezy, co-editor of "Monthly Review," the full text of the
Communist Manifesto, in a distinctive and pleasing hand-set
typeface, the important catechism "Principles of Communism,"
drafted by Engels in 1847 as a basis for the Manifesto, and ""The
Communist Manifesto After 150 Years,"" a far-reaching interpretive
essay by Ellen Meiksins Wood, co-editor of "Monthly Review."
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.
Since its first publication in 1942, this book has become the
classic analytical study of Marxist economics. Written by an
economist who was a master of modern academic theory as well as
Marxist literature, it has been recognized as the ideal textbook in
its subject. Comprehensive, lucid, authoritative, it has not been
challenged or even approached by any later study.
This landmark text by Paul Baran and Paul Sweezy is a classic of
twentieth-century radical thought, a hugely influential book that
continues to shape our understanding of modern capitalism.
Contributing Authors Include J. P. Morray, Francisco Juliao, Ralph
Miliband, And Many Others.

Chu Teh, one of the legendary figures of the Chinese Revolution,
was born in 1886. He was commander in chief of the People's
Revolutionary Army, and this is the story of the first sixty years
of his life. As a supreme commanding general, he was probably
unique; surely there has never been another commander in chief who,
during his years of service, spun, wove, set type, grew and cooked
his own food, wrote poetry and lectured not only to his troops on
military strategy and tactics but to women's classes on how to
preserve vegetables. Evans Carlson wrote that "Chu Teh has the
kindness of a Robert E. Lee, the tenacity of a Grant, and the
humility of a Lincoln." More than a biography, this work by a great
American woman journalist, who took the account from Chu Teh
himself, is a social and historical document of the highest value.
This is the fifth in the important series of essays by the former
editors of Monthly Review analyzing the ongoing crisis of global
capitalism. Following the multiple interconnected stock market
crashes of October 1987, the economies of the capitalist world
entered a new and dangerous phase of the crisis that began in the
1970s with the end of the post-WWII boom. Sweezy and Magdoff argue
that far from being a temporary setback, the events of late 1987
are rooted in the nature of the capital accumulation process itself
and therefore unlikely to be reversed. Their argument is especially
prescient when viewed in light of the financial meltdown of 2008.
One of the twentieth century's foremost Marxian economists
discusses the dialectical method, the contradictions of capitalism,
and the future of Marxism.
Few contributions to the understanding of modern capitalism and its
mode of operation and evolution have been more important than those
made by Paul Sweezy. The essays in this volume continue and deepen
his work of interpretation found in The Theory of Capitalist
Development, Monopoly Capital, and The Present as History.
This introduction to socialist thought is by two men perhaps better
qualified than any other Americans to have written it. Leo Huberman
and Paul Sweezy, founding editors and publishers of the independent
socialist magazine Monthly Review, built an impressive reputation
as keen observers, acute analysts, and lucid writers on the world
and domestic scenes. In this book, they present in clear and direct
language the basic elements of the socialist critique of capitalist
society.
This is the fourth in a continuing series of collected essays by
the former editors of "Monthly Review" on the state of the U.S.
economy and its relation to the global system. Like its
predecessors, this volume focuses on the most recent phase of the
development of U.S. capitalism, stressing the profound
contradictions of the underlying processes of capital accumulation
and pointing the way to the fundamental reforms that are the
essential precondition for a real economic revival.
This is the third book of essays on the United States and the world
economy produced by the fruitful collaboration of Monthly Review
editors Paul M. Sweezy and Harry Magdoff. In these essays, written
between 1977 and 1981, the authors assess the results of efforts
taken to stabilize the economy after the epochal changes of the
early 1970s, the end of capitalism's "golden age," by attempts to
counteract the effects of inflation, debt dependence, speculation,
and financial instability.
This is the second in the series of four collections of essays in
which Paul M. Sweezy and Harry Magdoff, the editors of Monthly
Review, set out as it took place the development of U.S. and global
capitalism from the late 1960s to the "financial explosion" age of
the early 1990s and after. This second set of essays constitute in
their totality a probing analysis of the condition of the United
States economy in the 1970s, immediately after the end of the
"golden age" of capitalism. The authors concluded, correctly, that
a new period had begun-"one of sluggish capitalist accumulation and
unemployment in the advanced capitalist countries on a scale not
seen since the 1930s."
This is the first of the series of four collections of essays in
which Paul M. Sweezy and Harry Magdoff, the editors of Monthly
Review, chronicled, as it was taking place, the development of U.S.
and global capitalism from the end of its "golden age" in the late
1960s to the full onset of the financial explosion of the early
1990s and after. With exceptional clarity, the authors explain
basic economic principles and bring them to life with concrete
examples drawn from the daily workings of the corporations and the
financial markets, and the international monetary system.
