This Wisconsin reprint includes a new foreword. "Chayanov's Message," by Teodor Shanin, written especially for this edition. It has been independently numbered and follows this note.
The original preface notes that Chayanov used the term "family farm" in a particular sense. By family farm, he referred only to those peasant households that relied almost exclusively on the la bor of family members; if peasant farms used any hired labor, it was in order to establish their basic economic equilibrium between demand satisfaction and drudgery of labor at a more favorable point, not necessarily in order to make a profit.
