Maurice Dobb was an economist who primarily was involved in the interpretation of neoclassical economic theory from a Marxist point of view.

While neither Maurice Dobb nor any other Cambridge don was involved in actual recruitment to the KGB he did have a part to play in the case histories of Kim Philby, Anthony Blunt and other members of the 'Ring of Five' British traitors, by his promotion, amongst Cambridge undergraduates, of Soviet-style Communism.
