Marx and Marxism

Biografie

Zusammenfassung: Karl Marx remains the most influential and controversial political thinker in history. He has been viewed as a philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, even a literary craftsman. But who was Marx? What informed his critiques of modern society? And how are we to understand his legacy? In "Marx and Socialism", Gregory Claeys offers a wide-ranging, accessible account of Marx's ideas and their development, from the nineteenth century through the Russian Revolution to the present. Both his critique of capitalism and his vision of the future speak across the centuries to our times, even if the questions he poses are more difficult to answer than ever. -- From publisher's description.
