The review "Polish Perspectives" raportsa a new publishing ver-— ture in Poland, "For many years", it says, "Poland's Marxist researchers found little if any support in serious works on jiarx and his thought. This was of course, not a co—incidence, but was closely bound up with the development of the Stalinist period." To fill the gap, a new Library of Marxist Studies has been founded, under the direction of a centre of Marxology led by Professor Adam Schaff, This centre is to publish a number of important works on the Young ifarz, on tho Marxist Concept of Money, and on Karl Marx's "Idea of the Commmnist Bconony".

The State Scientific publishers are also issuing a series of popular reprints, including works by Melring, Labtriole, Bayard and infantin, Dietgen , Luxembourg, Lafargue, Kautsky, loses Hess, Lunacharsky, Bernstein,Jaures , Plekhanov, and Gramsci, The selections from Gramsci have become so popular that for a time they reached the best-seller lists: an important indication of. the political temperature of Young Polish Socialists, Significantly, the Collected Works of Rosa Luxembourg are to be issued in +en volumes by the same publishing house, This will mean that whole areseof debate on basic Marxist principles will be opened; in partiaiar it will be impossible to disseminate some of Luxembourg's writings on Economics without challenging some of the most important assumptions of the recent programme of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Luxembourg's views on the withering away of political economy are diametrically opposed to the distorted and flatfooted notions of- Communist Society that are embodied in that programme, and discussions of her views will necessarily result in the political rearmament of the young Polish workers and students who read them.
