The Captain of His Earth

Timothy Shenk

Chapter 3 in Maurice Dobb, 2013, pp 47-67 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Dobb spent the second half of his twenties convinced that revolution — political, social, economic, cultural, and intellectual — was coming. He ended Capitalist Enterprise and Social Progress predicting that history had reached “a turning point,” the same phrase he used in a 1929 article to describe the state of the economics profession. But there was one part of the world where the revolution had already arrived: the Soviet Union. In 1925, Dobb visited the country for the first time. There, he caught a glimpse of what he hoped — what he knew — the future would bring. And he was dazzled.1
