Marx: Selected Writings (Hackett Classics)

My daughter loves it

Well-organized and thought provoking. Although it is a little beefy for a casual reader, it is still a substantial collection of one of the most insightful critical philosophers of the world. If you want to read Marx, I'd highly recommend this.

Marx is well explained in this book, his view is more important today than ever, the rule of the capitalist elite and the future of work for the disenfranchised is approaching the crossroads that Marx envisioned. The only point not included, was the role of the consumer, which is one connection that is as important as the role of worker and exploiter, Capitalists need consumers, even if the worker is largely displaced by robots. Seen more clearly today is the role of the taxpayer, domestic borrower, and consumer, as the basis of all wealth for capitaist exploitation, to extent that these three classes of worker may lose everthing to the capitalist who also creates the medium of exchange backed only by law.

I had to read this for a college course but this book was good. Challenging and thought provoking.

My daughter needed this for school on came in just as you see it and fast

Interesting take on a well known subject.

Not a favorite of mine; however, this book was an essential for a college course.

A good introduction but the professor's introductions are sycophantic, eulogizing and unbearably pedantic. The religious insinuation of Marx with Axial wise men is voluptuous and intellectually vulgar; as one of the first anti-State economists Marx deserves better. This edition is used widely by universities, so this treatment comes to no surprise. Other recommendations: Actually reading the volumes of Capital The Trotsky compiled reader. From Marx to Mises: Post-Capitalist Society and the Challenge of Economic Calculation -- David Ramsay Steele The Myth of National Defense -- Hans-Hermann Hoppe Nation, State and Economy Theory of Money and Credit --Ludwig von Mises marxists.org mises.org (avoid the viking portable Marx, get the real deals)

Much cheaper than university prices. No highlights or damage.

Excellent selections. Used for a course on modernity.

bought it for a course I was taking. came quickly and with a cute little bookmark!
