Full Description

Long considered dead by mainstream critics, the basic ideas of Marx are brought to life in this overview of his thought. The Meaning of Marxism 2nd Edition argues that rather than being irrelevant, Marx's ideas about globalisation, oppression and social change are more important than ever in the unstable and unpredictable economic state of the world today. Including chapters on the Marxist view of history, Marxism and oppression and the future socialist society, Paul D'Amato takes the reader through the full gamut of Marxist thought.
