Reviews

This is the perfect book for anyone wishing to get to grips with the type of systematized version of classical Marxism that has been developed in the Anglo-Saxon idealist tradition. It is also an important reference for anyone wishing to develop a critique of this version and to advance to a more creative, and less idealist, engagement with Marxist thought.
