Karl Marx is, perhaps, the founding figure of modern social theory.
His ideas and writings have been entwined with some of the
twentieth century's greatest struggles for justice, and some of its
worst repression. He has inspired an equal measure of followers and
critics, and entirely diverse lines of research and theory. Each
new generation of social thinkers have advanced theories in the
wake of Marx, proving his undying contemporary relevance. In this
illuminating and concise collection of readings, Karl Marx emerges
as the first theorist to give a comprehensive social view of the
birth and development of capitalist modernity that began with the
Second Industrial Revolution and still exists today.
Organized analytically, each section of readings relates to an
enduring facet of Marxist thought. Along with Marx's own writing,
there are fifteen contemporary essays on a variety of topics
showing the influence of Marx on today's world. Editorial
introductions are included at the beginning of the volume and of
each section to situate the readings historically and
intellectually. Every student and scholar of social theory and
Marxism will find this to be the defining collection of Marxist
modern thought.
