Description

'All too often, Karl Marx has been regarded as a demon or a deity - or a busted flush.

This fresh, provocative, and hugely enjoyable book explains why, for all his shortcomings, his critique of modern society remains forcefully relevant even in the twenty-first century.'Francis Wheen, author of Karl MarxIn recent years we could be forgiven for assuming that Marx has nothing left to say to us.

Marxist regimes have failed miserably, and with them, it seemed, all reason to take Marx seriously.

The fall of the Berlin Wall had enormous symbolic resonance: it was taken to be the fall of Marx as well as of Marxist politics and economics. This timely book argues that we can detach Marx the critic of current society from Marx the prophet of future society, and that he remains the most impressive critic we have of liberal, capitalist, bourgeois society.

It also shows that the value of the 'great thinkers' does not depend on their views being true, but on other features such as their originality, insight, and systematic vision.

On this account too Marx still richly deserves to be read.
