Synopsis
One of the foremost Marxist critics of his generation forcefully argues against Marx's irrelevancy
In this combative, controversial book, Terry Eagleton takes issue with the prejudice that Marxism is dead and done with. Taking ten of the most common objections to Marxism―that it leads to political tyranny, that it reduces everything to the economic, that it is a form of historical determinism, and so on―he demonstrates in each case what a woeful travesty of Marx's own thought these assumptions are. In a world in which capitalism has been shaken to its roots by some major crises, Why Marx Was Right is as urgent and timely as it is brave and candid. Written with Eagleton's familiar wit, humor, and clarity, it will attract an audience far beyond the confines of academia.

Why Marx Was Right
Seller: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spain
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Condition: Como nuevo. : En este libro combativo y controvertido, Terry Eagleton aborda el prejuicio de que el marxismo está muerto y acabado. Tomando diez de las objeciones más comunes al marxismo (que conduce a la tiranía política, que lo reduce todo a lo económico, que es una forma de determinismo histórico, etc.), demuestra en cada caso lo lamentable que es la travesía del propio pensamiento de Marx. En un mundo en el que el capitalismo se ha visto sacudido hasta sus raíces por algunas crisis importantes, 'Por qué Marx tenía razón' es tan urgente y oportuno como valiente y sincero. Escrito con el ingenio, el humor y la claridad característicos de Eagleton, atraerá a un público mucho más allá de los confines de la academia.
