Abstract
It may be clear from the foregoing that the investigation of questions relating to the world economy is extremely important for both political and economic practice. This may account for the fact that Marxist research relating to the world economy has its traditions, and that the classics of Marxism-Leninism left to us a significant heritage in that great importance was attached already at that time to international economic problems. Marx’s economic career of historic significance was inspired exactly by these problems. This is what he wrote about himself: “... debates on free trade and protective tariffs caused the first incentive to my occupation with economic questions.”49

The teaching of the problems of the world economy is not confined to the training of economists only in the socialist countries. In the Ukrainian Soviet Republic, for example, the issues under the heading “The world capitalist economy and international relations” constitutes teaching subjects not only for the economic, but also for the historical and law faculties of the institutions of higher education.
