Few thinkers have been declared irrelevant and out of date with
such frequency as Karl Marx. Hardly a decade since his death has
gone by in which establishment critics have not announced the death
of his theory. Whole forests have been felled to produce the paper
necessary to fuel this effort to marginalize the coauthor of The
Communist Manifesto. And yet, despite their best efforts to bury
him again and again, Marx's specter continues to haunt his
detractors more than a century after his passing. As another
international economic collapse pushes ever growing numbers out of
work, and a renewed wave of popular revolt sweeps across the globe,
a new generation is learning to ignore all the taboos and scorn
piled upon Marx's ideas and rediscovering that the problems he
addressed in his time are remarkably similar to those of our own.
In this engaging and accessible introduction, Alex Callinicos
demonstrates that Marx's ideas hold an enduring relevance for
today's activists fighting against poverty, inequality, oppression,
environmental destruction, and the numerous other injustices of the
capitalist system.
