Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto is one of the world's most influential political manuscripts, inspiring revolutions and radically transforming the lives of millions of people. This engaging guide seeks to trace its origins, its beliefs and its lasting impact.
INTRODUCING MARXISM provides a fundamental account of Karl Marx's original philosophy, its roots in 19th century European ideology, his radical economic and social criticism of capitalism that inspired vast 20th century revolutions. It assesses Marxism's Russian disciples, the alternative Marxist approaches of Gramsci, the Frankfurt School of critical theory and the structuralist Marxism of Althusser in the 1960s. It marshals postmodern interpretations of Marxism and raises the spectre of 'post-Marxism' in Derrida's confrontation with Fukuyama's 'end of history' doctrine.

Presented in a stimulating and engaging format, this new compact edition presents the ideal way to delve further into one of the most challenging and influential ideas of the 19th century.
