Achille Loria Books
Achille Loria was an Italian political economist whose work is characterized by an original deterministic theory of economic development. This theory, influenced by a wide range of thinkers and based on research into landholding, posits that the relative scarcity of land leads to the subjugation of some members of society by others, a mechanism that operates differently at various stages of development. Loria, regarded as a forerunner of socio-legal studies, was also among the earliest critics of Marx's ideas. His numerous books, many translated into foreign languages, indirectly influenced the interpretation of American history.
