| Sumario: | In this essay we analyze the contributions of the economist Isaak Illich Rubin (a victim of Stalin’s purges) to the study of the method of Marxist political economy. The article begins by analyzing the counterposition that Rubin makes between the labor theory of value and the subjective theory of value, and then goes on to analyze the concept of use value in Marx (which is key to understanding Rubin’s critique of marginalism), the differences between the theories of the value of Marx and Ricardo, the distinction made by Marx between the concepts of value and the form of value, Rubin’s essays on the Marxist theory of money, and his analysis of the dialectical development of the categories in Marx’s economic system, which led to his discovery of the dialectics of the capitalist crisis. The essay closes with a description of Marx’s and Rubin’s conception of the critique of political economy as the scientific basis of communism.
