Philosophy, Politics & Current Affairs

Was Marx himself a "Marxist"? Was his vision of socialism betrayed by Marxist dictatorship? Is Marxism inevitably totalitarian? What did Marx really say?

Introducing Marxism provides a fundamental account of Karl Marx's original philosophy, its roots in 19th-century European ideology, and his radical economic and social criticism of capitalism that inspired vast 20th-century revolutions.

This book will be of particular interest to students of literary theory and history as well as the general reader.
