دانلود کتاب The Decline of Capitalism

"Evgeny Preobrazhensky’s book The Decline of Capitalism is one of thebest works in Soviet economic theory. My own familiarity with thebook resulted from my research for The "Crisis" and the "Crash":Soviet Studies of the West, 1917-1929 (1981). I discovered thatPreobrazhensky's study grew out of his analysis of the Soviet domesticeconomy (see E. A. Preobrazhensky, The Crisis of Soviet Industrialization,ed. Donald A. Filtzer, 1979) and at the same time addressed awhole new set of theoretical problems in a specifically capitalist contact.While several works by Preobrazhensky remain unavailable inEnglish, I chose to undertake a translation of The Decline of Capitalismas a work that would help English-language readers to appreciate thefull extent of the man's theoretical creativity.The Decline of Capitalism is a technical work in the sense that itdevelops Marx's schemes of expanded reproduction by incorporatingthe uneven (or cyclical) growth and replacement of fixed capital.Preobrazhensky assumes, for this purpose, that his readers will be"literate" in Marxism. I have therefore attempted to provide an introductionthat will both deal with the technical issues and also situate TheDecline of Capitalism in the history of Marxist political economy. Iwould hope and expect that the introduction will be a useful supplementto Preobrazhensky's own text. The note references, both in the introductionand in the annotated text, are to English-language sourceswherever possible."
