Description

Karl Marx: A Beginner's Guide by Andrew Collier is an accessible introduction to Marxist thought, redefining Marx as one of the first truly democratic thinkers. This concise yet searching study covers all elements of Marxist theory, from early writings to major texts like "Capital", and explores traditional notions of Marx as an activist while probing apparent inconsistencies in his work. Collier's engaging text highlights the enduring influence of Marx on modern society, examining global inequalities and their relevance today. With a wide range of examples, from Aristotelian thought to Thatcherite policy, this book offers a nuanced understanding of Marxist philosophy and its continued impact on politics. Suitable for students, scholars, and activists, Andrew Collier's study provides a thought-provoking assessment of Marx's pervasive influence in the 21st century.
