Marx Today: Selected Works and Recent Debates

Autor J. Sitton
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 sep 2012
This book provides, in one volume, primary sources by Marx and critical commentary which relates Marxism to contemporary social and political topics. It includes six brief works by Marx and ten articles by scholars, sympathetic to, but critical of, Marxism. For example, the author includes the classic essay by Heidi Hartmann which criticizes Marxism for misunderstanding gender oppression, "The Unhappy Marriage of Marxism and Feminism."

Recenzii

"This is a good, succinct, useful, timely, readable volume on Marx and Marxism. Clearly, Sitton has full command of Marx, Marxism, critiques of Marx and Marxism, and political economy in general. The collected pieces are a great mix and they nicely capture Marx's work and some of the secondary literature. It will be a wonderful tool for teaching Marx, Marxism, and political economy." - Mark Mattern, Professor of Political Science, Baldwin-Wallace College and Co-Editor of New Political Science: A Journal of Politics and Culture
"And as the crisis deepens, there will be significant interest in a work like this. I don't know about the U.S. but I've read about increased sales of Marx's Capital in Europe. That is likely to happen here and this will be a valuable companion to it." - August Nimtz, Professor of Political Science, University of Minnesota

Caracteristici

STRONG TEXTBOOK POTENTIAL: The primary market for this book is college classes on political thought and on social thought, typically but not always taught as upperdivision undergraduate courses and on the graduate level. (For political science, the standard 'Machiavelli to Marx' course that the editor has been teaching for twentyfive years is a prime example.) Average enrollment in the undergraduate courses is probably around twentyfive. OF PERENNIAL INTEREST: The editor has focused on bringing readable but brief works and accessible commentary on Marx to a broad audience. Marx is a very important thinker and the political ferment of today's world, caused partly by economic globalization, makes him of enduring interest. CONCISE: Many other works on Marx are too inclusive to be used in courses. This book will cut it down to the essentials. CONTAINS KEY COMMENTARY OTHER VOLUMES LACK: The key limitations on extant works are that either they have no commentary on the Marx selections or they reproduce one work by Marx (typically the Manifesto) with consequently narrow commentary. COMMENTARY BY FAMOUS HISTORICAL AUTHORS: Including Terry Eagleton, Albert Einstein, and Heidi Hartmann.
