FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description An enjoyable, comic-style book on the hugely influential ideas of Karl Marx and how they have shaped modern history. Was Marx himself a Marxist? Was his visionary promise of socialism betrayed by Marxist dictatorship? Is Marxism inevitably totalitarian? What did Marx really say? Introducing Marxism provides a fundamental account of Karl Marxs original philosophy, its roots in 19th-century European ideology, and his radical economic and social criticism of capitalism that inspired vast 19th-century revolutions. It assesses Marxisms Russian disciples - Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin - who forged a ruthless dogmatic Communism. This book examines the alternative Marxist approaches of Gramsci, the Frankfurt School of critical theory and the structuralist Marxism of Althusser in the 1960s. It marshals postmodern interpretations of Marxism and raises the spectre of post-Marxism in Derridas confrontation with Fukuyamas end of history doctrine. Marxism is not simply a phantom of the 20th-century Cold War that once inspired terror. It remains a potent ethical force in our postmodern age of uncertainty. Notes Account of his philosophy and his radical economic and social criticism. Author Biography Oscar Zarate is one of the UKs leading graphic artists. He has illustrated numerous Introducing titles. His graphic novel A Small Killing won the Will Eisner Prize. Long Description An enjoyable, comic-style book on the hugely influential ideas of Karl Marx and how they have shaped modern history.
