Publisher Description
Why should we pay attention to the great social critics like Marx? Americans, especially now, confront serious questions and evidences that our capitalist system is in trouble. It clearly serves the 1% far, far better than what it is doing to the vast mass of the people. Marx was a social critic for whom capitalism was not the end of human history. It was just the latest phase and badly needed the transition to something better. We offer this essay now because of the power and usefulness today of Marx’s criticism of the capitalist economic system.

The Book You Didn’t Know You Needed!
I have to say, my transition from Capitalist to Socialist is undoubtedly thanks to the ideas and work of Richard D. Wolff and Karl Marx. The Best introductory book to understanding Marxism I’ve every read. I hope it inspires everyone of you to deeply understand and develop Marxism into an even greater Economic System for all of humanity!!!
R. Wolff's Understanding Marxism: a great primer
Good clear writing. I picked up a couple of terms I didn't know. This could be on a grade 12 politics course. It should be. Great companion to Terry Eagleton's WHY MARX WAS RIGHT.
