The development of a concept of Marxist humanism is traced from a critique of a proposal by Soviet economist (see [author not specified] "A New Revision of Marxian Economics," American Economic Review [1944, Sept] for translation of comments by Raya Dunayevskaya on an article originally appearing in Pod Zgamene Marxizma, 1943, 7-8) on the teaching of Karl Marx's Capital (1867). It was claimed that the Soviet ideologists had violated the dialectical structure of Capital by downplaying the section on fetishism of commodities; further, the Soviet economists' admission that the law of value operated in Russia supported the conclusion drawn from studies of the five-year plans under Stalin, ie, that the USSR had become a state-capitalist society. A later debate with Soviet ideologists occurring in 1955 is also discussed, along with Marxism and Freedom (Dunayevskaya, Raya, 1958) in which the concept of humanism was established as the central thread in Marx's work. It is argued that today's world crisis necessitates a return to Marx's humanism. 3 References. K. Anderson
