.PDF
Evgeny Pashukanis was the prodigious author of some two hundred pieces on questions of legal theory, legal history and public administration We employed three specific criteria in the determination of the eleven translations from the original Russian which are incorporated in this volume, nearly all of which appear for the first time in English. These criteria were: (a) the relationship between the Marxism inherent in Pashukanis' work (which changed substantially between 1924 and 1937) and the theoretical status of Marx's own fragmented discourse on state and law; (b) the relationship between Pashukanis' writings and the concrete circumstances of that Soviet history of which he was part; (c) the status of the internal structure of Pashukanis' thought,i.e. the adequacy and consistency of the various sets of propositions which in combination became known as the commodity exchange theory of law
