A. Bogdanoff. A Short Course Of Economic Science. London, Communist Party Of Great Britain, 1925.

There are, it is true, a number of useful books dealing in a popular manner with various phases of the Marxian theory, but to my mind none show in their construction the integral character of the Marxian theory, nor are they sufficiently systematised to serve as a guide to the further studies of the student. Comrade Bogdanoff's book is a comprehensive and popular introduction to the study of the profound and enthralling principles of Marxian philosophy. In fact, it is a textbook on Marxism. It was, as the author says in his Preface, written in the dark days of the Tsarist reaction for the use of secret workers' study circles; and it serves to-day as a textbook in hundreds, if not thousands, of party schools and study circles now functioning in Soviet Russia, training the future administrators of the Workers' Republic.
