Sholom Dvolajckij

Šolom Moiseevič Dvolajckij (Russian: Шолом Моисеевич Дволайцкий, S. M. Dvolaitsky; 1893–1937) was a Jewish economist active in the Soviet Union.

Dvolajckij was born in Žagarė, Lithuania, then part of the Russian Empire.

He collaborated with Alexander Bogdanov in producing the 10th revised edition of Kratkii kurs ekonomicheskoi nauki (1920) which appeared in an English translation by Joe Fineberg as A Short Course in Economic Science (1923).

However Bogdanov was to criticise Dvolajckij's view that the method of K. Marx’s Das Kapital was not applicable to the analysis of non-capitalist social-economic formations.

In 1928 his Ćastnyj kapital v torgovle SSSR was published in Russia.

In 1934 his translation of a chapter of Rosa Luxemburg's The Accumulation of Capital was published in Moscow: Tugan-Baranovsky

He was director of the Department of Culture and Propaganda of the Azov-Black Sea Territorial Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (bolsheviks) from 1936–7 when he was purged.
