"This Oxford handbook serves its stated purpose of providing an
entry point into Marxist theory. While the book aims to be
accessible to beginners, readers will benefit from prior
understanding of economic theories. This collection of empirical
research is divided into seven sections that can be read
independently. Some of the sections include essay collections such
as "Labor, Class, and Social Divisions," "Capitalist States and
Spaces," and "Alternatives to
Capitalism." The handbook has various points of entry beginning
with the table of contents, which receives a detailed walk-through
in the introductory chapter. The index is also detailed and
thorough (as
one would expect from Oxford's authoritative series). If the
researching mind finds itself stimulated, each chapter contains
extensive citations. This detailed volume provides enough
information for readers to make their own decision on whether
Marxism still lives." -- R. I. Saltz, Independent scholar, CHOICE
