Karl Marx has been portrayed in equal measure both as a
political prophet who foresaw the end of capitalist exploitation,
and as a populist Anti- Christ whose totalitarian legacy has cost
millions of lives worldwide. This new biography looks beyond these
caricatures in order to understand more about the real Karl Marx;
about his everyday life and personal circumstances as well as his
political ideology.
The book tells the life story of a man of ideas, showing how his
political and economic thought developed alongside his life and
practical work. Vincent Barnett seeks to paint Karl Marx not as a
static, unwavering character, but as a man whose beliefs developed
dynamically over time. The book explores his personal background,
and problems of personal income and family health. It also examines
the influence of Hegel's methods on Marx's work, and his
relationship with Engels.
This lively, up to date guide to the life of Karl Marx provides
an excellent starting point for students in history, politics and
philosophy, and for all those with an interest in Marxism and
political ideas.
