This important essay dates from the end of the fifties. During this era, the dominant theories of economic growth were based on conditions of private ownership of capital and where investment is primarily under the control of private individuals or firms. Dobbs, however, considers the alternatives. He asks: Do such theories have a more universal application? Can they be applied to planned economies? If they can, in what form may such an application be made? Half a century later, with the global regime of unfettered international capital markets in a state of utter collapse, the time has come for a return to the possibility of rational social and economic planning. This short clear book is again a necessary theoretical starting point for a post-capitalist future.

Mr Dobb examines the history of economic thought in the light of the modern controversy over capital theory and, more particularly, the appearance of Sraffa's book The Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities, which was a watershed in the critical discussions constituted a crucial turning-point in the history of economics: an estimate not unconnected with his reinterpretation of nineteenth-century economic thought as consisting of two streams or traditions commonly confused under the generic title of 'the classical tradition' against which Jevons so strongly reacted.

DOBB, Maurice Herbert was born in 1900 in England.
Bachelor of Arts University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom, 1921. Doctor of Philosophy London School of Economies and Political Science, London, United Kingdom, 1924.
Marxist economist whose greatest efforts were directed towards developing a theoretical framework for the analysis of capitalism. This led him inevitably into the examination of theories of value and the total rejection of neoclassical theory. His sympathetic examination of Soviet economic experience under Stalin was later applied to the economic development of the Third World, which became one of his main interests in later life.
His work in Marxist economics made few concessions to new interpretations, but this did not prevent him from obtaining considerable influence and worldwide respect. Among his many contributions to the history of ideas was his editorship of Ricardo’s Works and Correspondence with Piero Sraffa. Lector, Reader Economics, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom, 1924-1967.
