ABSTRACT

This volume is dedicated to Luxemburg’s contribution to Marxian critical political economy. This contribution is mainly embodied in three books: The Accumulation of Capital (Luxemburg, 1913) and the Anti-Critique (Luxemburg, 1921), normally considered together, and Introduction to Political Economy (Luxemburg, 19251). There is little published literature drawing much of a connection between Introduction to Political Economy and Accumulation of Capital. However, I believe that only by reading these three books together is it possible to follow Luxemburg’s train of thought. Thus, in what follows I shall try to provide a comprehensive reading of the economic writings of Luxemburg as a whole. In the final section I shall summarize the contributions of the following chapters. My chapter in the book will be mainly devoted to a new reading of the Anti-Critique.
