Sholom Moiseevich Dvolaitsky (, S. M. Dvolaitsky; 1893âÂÂ27 November, 1937) was a Soviet economist and state official.
Dvolajckij was born in à ½agarÃÂ, 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. MarxâÂÂs Das Kapital was not applicable to the analysis of non-capitalist social-economic formations.
In 1928 his ÃÂastnyj 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 1936âÂÂ7 when he was purged. He was arrested on 15 October 1937 and tried and shot on 27 November 1937. His ashes are buried in the Donskoye Cemetery
