Grossman’s return to Marx, in order to overcome the stagnation of Marxist economics, paralleled the recovery by Lenin and Lukács of Marxist politics and philosophy. He shared with them more than a political starting point:
their commitment to the project of constituting the working class as a conscious historical actor. All three also grasped the importance of Marx’s theory of the fetishism of commodities, his method in Capital and the intractability of
capitalist crises. Grossman concentrated his efforts, in particular, on the question of the relationship between capital accumulation and economic crises, which he theorised in two distinct but complementary ways.
