One of the most influential Marxist theorists of the twentieth
century, Henri Lefebvre first published Marxist Thought and the
City in French in 1972, marking a pivotal point in his evolution as
a thinker and an important precursor to his groundbreaking work of
urban sociology, The Production of Space. Marxist Thought and the
City-inwhich he reviews the work of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels
for commentary and analysis on the life and growth of the city-now
appears in English for the first time. Rooted in orthodox Marxism's
analyses of capitalism and the capitalist mode of production, with
extensive quotations from the works of Marx and Engels, this book
describes the city's transition from life under feudalism to modern
industrial capitalism. In doing so it highlights the various forces
that sought to maintain power in the struggles between the medieval
aristocracy and the urban guilds, amid the growth of banking and
capital. Providing vital background and supplementary material to
Lefebvre's other books, including The Urban Revolution and Right to
the City, Marxist Thought and the City is indispensable for
students and scholars of urbanism, Marxism, social geography, early
modern history, and the history of economic thought.
