A Dictionary of Political Economy is a comprehensive and authoritative reference work that defines and explains the key terms, theories, and figures in political economy, providing readers with a clear understanding of economic systems, social relations, and ideological frameworks shaping the modern world. Compiled by leading Soviet economists and scholars, this dictionary presents a Marxist-Leninist perspective on the evolution of economic thought, offering both analytical precision and ideological depth.

The dictionary covers fundamental categories such as value, labor, capital, profit, wages, production, distribution, exchange, and consumption, while also exploring broader concepts like imperialism, socialism, state planning, and world market relations. Each entry is written in accessible language yet grounded in scientific economic theory, making it suitable for students, researchers, and readers seeking a solid foundation in Marxist political economy.

Beyond definitions, the work provides critical commentary on bourgeois economic schools — classical, neoclassical, Keynesian, and monetarist — contrasting them with the principles of scientific socialism and dialectical materialism. It highlights how economic laws operate differently under capitalism and socialism, emphasizing the historical and class-based character of economic processes.

A Dictionary of Political Economy remains an indispensable reference for anyone interested in Marxist economics, economic history, and social science terminology. It reflects the intellectual depth and analytical discipline of Soviet economic scholarship, serving as both a study tool and an ideological guide to understanding the dynamics of production, class, and social change.
