I thought Collier's books on socialist reasoning and critical realism were excellent; haven't read this one yet. rb Marx Andrew Collier Format: Paperback Pub. Date: November 2004 Product Details: ISBN: 1851683461 Format: Paperback, 192pp Pub. Date: November 2004 Publisher: Oneworld Publications Marx FROM THE PUBLISHER "Andrew Collier's text not only introduces the reader to Marx the revolutionary, but also redefines him as one of the first truly democratic thinkers. Collier covers all the elements of Marxist thought, from the early writings to such major texts as Capital and the key themes of labour and society. Punctuating his study with a wide range of examples, from Aristotelian thought to Thatcherite policy, he explores the traditional notion of Marx the activist, while probing the apparent inconsistencies in his work and reclaiming him as a philosopher and political theorist." Concluding with an assessment of Marx's pervasive influence on the political landscape of the twenty-first century, Collier's study highlights our own global inequalities and will be welcomed by students, scholars and activists from a variety of backgrounds.
