Economic calculation and forms of property
- New York Monthly Review Press 1975

The contents of this book are an extension of previous research, some of which is still being carried on. Consequently, the reader will not find a systematic exposition of bodies of knowledge that have already been produced, whose forms of proof can all be presented, but rather, the exposition of work in progress. This inevitably involves "a return to the past" and the revival of questions that have apparently already been dealt with. The analyses that follow must, therefore, be considered partly provisional. The aim of this work is twofold: firstly, to put forward and specify a certain number of concepts, in order to open up a discussion that will enable current research to develop more quickly; secondly, to indicate some of the conclusions that can be drawn by using these concepts.
