Paul M. Sweezy was born in New York City in 1910,
educated at Exeter and Harvard, and after receiving his
Ph.D. in 1937 went to the London School of Economics, to
Vienna, and to other places on the continent for graduate
study. He taught economics at Harvard until 1946. He is
now co-editor, with Harry Magdoff, of _Monthly Review_.
Paul Sweezy's books include _Monopoly and Competition in
the English Coal Trade, 1550-1850_, _The Present as
History_, _Cuba: Anatomy of a Revolution_ (with Leo
Huberman), _Monopoly Capital_ (with Paul A. Baran), and
_The Theory of Capitalist Development_.
Annette T. Rubinstein was born in New York. Her parents
were socialist activists who ran a progressive school.
She received her doctorate in literature from New York
University, worked as a literary critic and educator for
many years, and served as the education director of the
Jefferson School for Social Science. Blacklisted in the
1950s, she supported herself by writing and by giving
lectures around the country. A lifelong civil rights
activist, Annette Rubinstein was also an organizer for
the American Labor Party and was active in Vito
Marcantonio's numerous successful electoral campaigns.
Annette Rubinstein has taught in China, Czechoslovakia,
and the German Democratic Republic, and was one of the
founders of _Science and Society_, the world's oldest
scholarly Marxist journal, and still serves on its
editorial board. She is also on the editorial board of
_Jewish Currents_. In addition to numerous articles, her
books include _American Literature: Root and Flower_ and
_The Great Tradition in English Literature from
Shakespeare to Shaw_. She is a long-time friend,
supporter, and faculty member of The Brecht Forum/New
York Marxist School.
