SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The book reinterprets Marx's historical materialism as a world accounting history, answers his critics, and supports his theory with accounting evidence from history. It explains Marx's prediction of the 'inevitability' of socialism, and outlines the necessary tasks of 'critical accounting' for Marxists to get Day One.
