It looks like the newest of these was written around 1940 - is there anything more modern on the subject?
Has the field of economics really progressed so little in the past 80 years that these writings are still the best available?
- opportune 8y agoThese aren’t really mainstream economics. Marxist economics don’t really get funding / studied in capitalist economies for obvious reasons The other reason these are all from around the same time period is that this was when all of the biggest successful communist revolutions took place. I’m sure there has been literature about the subject since then - these are just the most famous/influential because of who wrote them (so these are translated to English. Most of the other literature would be untranslated Russian/Chinese/etc.). Notably Deng Xiaoping instituted capitalist reforms in China as a departure from the traditional Maoist assertion that a period of capitalist development was unnecessary
