Yes, they are. The lecture 'What is Economics' is the first chapter. The
others are the following: 2. Primitive communist society; 3. The
dissolution of primitive communist society; 4. Commodity production; 5.
Wage labor; 6. The tendencies in political economy. Chapter 5 is
especially important, since it includes her 'law of the falling relative
wage' (on which there are important comments in Rosdolsky: BTW, in my view
the Accumulation of Capital by R.L. *should* be connected to this chapter
of the lectures, to rescue her from the most obvious errors of her more
known book).
