Marxism
Provided a decent beginner’s guide to the theory of Marxism. But would say the conclusions was a bit biased, eg claiming wages have increased (in many western capitalist countries they have remained stagnant whilst CEO pay has rocketed) and that “with a bit of hard work” anyone can move between classes, which we know in many capitalist countries is simply not the case. Social mobility is in fact quite low- which is one of the reasons why we are seeing the rise of more extreme right wing politics globally.
Good intro to the ideas, but a bit weak in some of it’s critiques of Marxism.
