Purchase options and add-ons

Rick Kuhn’s Henryk Grossman and the Recovery of Marxism is the definitive study of the life and work of this renowned economist, activist, and intellectual. As a young man, Grossman joined the socialist movement and participated in Jewish workers' strikes and demonstrations, as well as in boycotts against employers and the Austro-Hungarian state. He moved to Vienna, but was driven back to Poland by the Austrian state's racist citizenship policies. A member of the illegal Polish Communist Party, Grossman was frequently arrested and jailed, finally leaving Poland for a post at the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt am Main, which gave rise to the famous 'Frankfurt School'. 

Grossman published his best known work in Frankfurt, including studies of Marx's method in Capital and theories of economic crisis that remain influential today. In tracing Grossman's experiences, from Kraków to New York, and offering a detailed account of his ideas, the biography provides an intimate account of key events in twentieth century history, including the politicization of east European Jewry, the World Wars, the rise of Stalinism and Nazism, and the cold war.

Top review from the United States

Phil G.
5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Biography of an Innovative Marxist Economist
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2019
Henryk Grossman was quite possible the most important Marxist economist after Marx himself, but his work is known today only to a relatively narrow left-wing audience. Rick Kuhn's excellent biography, which deservedly won the Deutscher Prize, is the best introduction to his work, setting Grossman's intellectual contributions in the context of the political events through which he lived. Kuhn corrects misconceptions about Grossman's work and explains why anyone who wants to understand contemporary capitalism would do well to familiarize themselves with what he wrote. Highly recommended.
