Marx: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Marx" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Karl Marx was the first theorist of global capitalism and remains perhaps its most trenchant critic. This clear and innovative book, from one of the leading contemporary experts on Marxs thought, gives us a fresh overview of his ideas by framing them within concepts that remain topical and alive today, from class struggle and progress to democracy and exploitation.Taking Marxs work in his pamphleteering, journalism, speeches, correspondence and published books as central to a renewed understanding of the man and his politics, this book brings both his life experience and our contemporary political engagements vividly to life. It shows us the many ways that a nineteenth-century thinker has been made into the Marx we know today, beginning with his own self-presentations before moving on to the successive different Marxes that were later constructed: an icon of communist revolution, a demonic figure in the Cold War, a humanist philosopher, and a spectre haunting Occupy Wall Street.Carvers accessible and lively book unpacks the historical, intellectual and political difficulties that make Marx sometimes difficult to read and understand, while also highlighting the distinct areas where his challenging writings speak directly to the twenty-first-century world. It will be essential reading for students and scholars throughout the social sciences and anyone interested in the contemporary legacy of his revolutionary ideas.

Introduction

Another Marx

Karl Marx's works have had a multi-faceted and multi-functional appeal to all sorts of audiences, political and otherwise, since the early 1840s, though during his lifetime (181883) he had relatively few readers and little if any fame. His first mass audience was in the partisan context of the international socialist movement of the later nineteenth century, and after that he occupied an iconic position in its rival communist successors and state-structures from the Bolshevik revolution in Russia in 1917 up to the fall of the Wall in Berlin in 1989. In a much more limited way this kind of twentieth-century Marx-worship persists into the present, though now mostly marginalized and increasingly tenuous. All through these posthumous developments the relationships between the historical real-life Marx, the Marxisms attributed to him, the iconic Marx of parade-banners, and the actual politics of Marxist movements, leaders and states has been a maelstrom of complex political, ideological and academic negotiations and conflicts. These processes have included the Cold War and Iron Curtain great-power confrontations, as well as formidable amounts of national liberation, revolution, subversion, intervention and regime change, together with considerable violence all across the globe.
