1942 Classic of Marxist economic theory by the Monthly Review founder. Must-read for understanding capitalism.
It summarizes the economic ideas of Marx and his followers. It was the first book in English that dealt with certain questions thoroughly such as the transformation problem: the problem of finding a general rule to transform the "values" of commodities into the "competitive prices" of the marketplace.
