Economic Theory of the Leisure Class by Nikolai Bukharin } F? 2 SS Bukharin, besides being the president of the Communist International, is the leading Marxian theoreti- cian in the world today. He has done a great deal of scien- tific work in the fleld of so- ciology and economies, and has published a number of outstanding contributions in these fields. « The “Economic Theory of the Leisure Class” is one of his most important theoretical writings to be translated for the first time into English. Just Marx has studied the theoretical systems of the classical economists (Smith, Ricardo, Mill, etc.) Bukharip tackles the dominant bour- geois political economy known as the Austrian School, (Men- ger, Boehm-Bawer' Vieser, Walras, Clark, ete.), In a brilliant style and with lucid Marxian reasoning, he- anal- yses the theories of Marginal Utility, Value and Profit of the leading bourgeois econo- mists, showing that the Aus- trian School is governed by the vulgar psychology of the rentier, the coupon-clipper, octavo, $2.50 Another Important Book by Bukharin While ‘“Kconomic Theory of the Leisure Class” is a study in the field of political econ- omy, “Historical Materialism” by the same au- thor is an appli- cation of Marx- ism to the field ot sociology. This book has already become the standard text book and is con- sidered one of the outstanding Marxian classics, In fact, it is the only book available where the materialist method has been applied to an analy- sis of the various social phe- nomena. | Nikolai octavo, $3.25 Both books to be obtained from THE DAILY WORKER PUB.
