Synopses & Reviews
Peter Singer identifies the central vision that unifies Marxs thought, enabling us to grasp Marxs views as a whole. Singer sees him as a philosopher primarily concerned with human freedom, rather than as an economist or a social scientist. He explains alienation, historical materialism, the economic theory of Capital, and Marxs ideas of communism in plain English, and concludes with an assessment of Marxs legacy.
