The Preobrazhensky Papers, Volume 3
Concrete Analysis of the Soviet Economy
Series: - Historical Materialism Book Series, Volume: 261
Evgeny A. Preobrazhensky was Russiaâs foremost economist in the 1920s. This volume editorially reconstructs his theory of socialist industrialisation in an agrarian country and relates it to previous socialist theories and to issues of political struggle, culture and communist morality. The bulk of the work consists of Preobrazhenskyâs Concrete Analysis of the Soviet Economy, which supplements his theoretical inquiry published in Volume II. A number of appendices present Preobrazhenskyâs analysis of the NEP and his correspondence with Trotsky alongside extensive contributions by the volumeâs editors and translators.

Sharpe, 1985); and Volume I of The Preobrazhensky Papers (Brill, 2014) with Mikhail M. Gorinov.
