ABOUT THE BOOK:

A lively and accessible introduction to the ideas of Karl Marx, with historical and contemporary examples.

Long-considered dead by mainstream critics, the basic ideas of Karl Marx are brought to life in this overview of his thought. This book argues that instead of irrelevant, Marx's ideas of globalization, oppression and social change are more important than ever.


PRAISE:

“There is an expression that Marxism is not merely a theory but a guide to action. Paul Damato's new book, The Meaning of Marxism, represents the best of that tradition. In his able hands, Marxist politics come alive and leap before us, pointing a way toward a better world. It's a knockout."

– Dave Zirin, author, What's My Name, Fool? Sports and Resistance in the United States

"When it comes to thinking about the continuing relevance of Marxist principles and perspectives for today's political struggles, Paul D'Amato is one of the best writers around. Every progressive activist has something to learn from this volume."

– William Keach, Brown University
