With this combative, controversial book, Terry Eagleton takes issue with the prejudice that Marxism is dead and done with. Acquiring ten of the most common objections to Marxism-that it leads to political tyranny, that it decreases everything to the economic, that it’s a kind of historical determinism, therefore on-he demonstrates in each case what a woeful travesty of Marx’s personal thought these assumptions are. In a global where capitalism has been shaken to its root base by some major crises, Why Marx Was Right is as immediate and timely since it is definitely fearless and candid. Written with Eagleton’s familiar wit, laughter, and clarity, it will attract an viewers far beyond the confines of academia.
