Why Marx Was Right
Author(s): Terry Eagleton
Takes issue with the prejudice that Marxism is dead and done with. Taking ten of the 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 - this title demonstrates in what a woeful travesty of Marx's own thought these assumptions are.
