Abstract

Paul Sweezy's work on the history of the British coal industry gave rise to his doctoral thesis and a published monograph at exactly the same time that he was making the transition from mainstream economics to Marxist political economy. This note explores the peculiar disappearance of this work from his subsequent contributions despite its apparent influence upon and consistency with it.
