Karl Marx

The best writings of the past hundred years on Marx's approach to analysing society and on his critique of capitalist society are brought together in this volume. The articles enable a better understanding of Marx's dialectical method and of the theories created with its help, and explain how to put his approach to use.

Marx''s approach to analyzing society and especially his critique of capitalist society, continues to influence the work of a large number of scholars world-wide. Unfortunately, there are relatively few clear accounts of what this approach is and how to put it to use. And, despite the many attempts to use Marx''s method to study a variety of subjects, there are relatively few that can serve as useful models. In the present volume, the internationally renowned Marxist scholar, Bertell Ollman, and the social theorist Kevin B. Anderson, have brought together a sampling of the best writings of the past hundred years that illustrate and critique Marx''s method as well as explain what it is and how to put it to work. Anyone wishing to understand better Marx''s dialectical method (along, of course, with the theories created with its help), or to revise this method or to criticize it, or to use it in their own work will find this collection invaluable.
