In this book Marx's observations on history, which are found
scattered throughout his voluminous writings, are brought together
and subjected to searching analysis. D. Ross Gandy writes in
refreshingly direct language, without resorting to jargon. For the
first time we have a thoughtful assessment of Marx's views on all
the epochs that cross his historical vision. Gandy treats Marx's
ideas on primitive societies, on ancient Roman and Asiatic
civilization, on the structure of feudalism, on strategies for
overthrowing capitalism, and on the hypothetical communist future.
Among the author's departures from traditional readings of Marx are
his interpretations of class struggle, his conception of social
strata, and his cogent analysis of the "new Marxism." Since many
aspects of Marxist historical theory have been neglected or
distorted, Gandy's remarkably clear commentary, based on extensive
research-including an exhaustive study of the forty-volume
Marx-Engels Werke-will doubtless stimulate debate among
sociologists and other students of social change, political
scientists, and historians.
