Isaak I. Rubin, author of numerous works in Marxist theory, explains the failure of the Austrian Schoolâs attempt to reduce political economy to individual psychology. Emphasising the sociological dimension of Marxâs work, Rubin welcomes a new âsocial directionâ in the writings of Rudolf Stolzmann, Alfred Amonn and Franz Petry. These economists rejected Austrian individualism, but their works were often influenced by the ethical idealism of Kant and Hegel, resulting in detachment of the economyâs social form from the material process of production. Rubin critically explores methodological differences between Marx and early twentieth-century critics and proponents of marginalist economic theory.
Richard B. Day, Ph.D. (1970), University of London, is professor of political economy at the University of Toronto, Canada. He has published extensively on Soviet economic and political history, including Leon Trotsky and the Politics of Economic Isolation (Cambridge University Press, 1973).
