Fred, the nearest I know is Grossmans 'Die Wert-Preis-Transformation bei Marx un das Kriesenproblem'... 1932... ( Leipzig .. Zeitschrift fur Sozialforschung) reprimted Archiv sozialtstischer literatur 20 Frank furt 1971. But since not even the great man's book has been fully translated into English the articles have had even less chance. Will someone please volunteer to do some translations?
