The following article by Margaret Fay consists of an Introduction and Part of a longer work; parts II and III and the Conclusion, described in the Introduction, are not extant.

In May 1979, the author submitted her arguments and evidence in the form of a 400-page dissertation to the University of California at Berkeley. One month later Margaret died. (Her doctorate was awarded posthumously by the University of California.) How Science & Society came to be involved in this research process is reported in the preface to the dissertation: I was first alerted to a way of thinking quite different from the liberal, middle-class, Quakerly tradition in which had been raised [in Belfast, Northern Ireland], when was a student of Social and Public Administration in Oxford (1967-1969).

However, it was not until began preparing for my dissertation proposal at the University of California at Berkeley that first appreciated, thanks to the guidance and encouragement of Professor Gertrude Lenzer (who was visiting professor at Berkeley, 1973-1974) to what extent Marx had drawn on Adam Smith.
