Examining how Marxist theory is lacking but much needed in a
variety of analytical contexts, this book traces the theoretical
maze in which Marxism currently finds itself, and from which it is
trying to exit while remaining epistemologically intact. Scholar
Tom Brass cogently argues that when Marxism is stripped of any or
all of its core elements-such as class
formation/consciousness/struggle, and a socialist transition-it
ceases to be recognizable as Marxism at all. Consequently, the book
constitutes an attempt by Marxist political economy to extricate
itself from mistaken attempts to conflate it with the cultural
turn, identity politics, bourgeois economics, or varieties of
populism and nationalism, while grappling with the danger of not
mapping Marxism in relation to those discourses.
