Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These 1981 essays examine the problems that have arisen from attempts to implement Marx's critical theory, to which the concept of the good society is central. As long as socialist regimes continue to invoke Marx, they subject themselves to the norms contained within Marx's understanding of freedom in a community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Marx at the Margins, Kevin Anderson uncovers a variety of extensive but neglected texts by Marx that cast what we thought we knew about his work in a startlingly different light. Analyzing a variety of Marx’s writings, including journalistic work written for the New York Tribune, Anderson presents us with a Marx quite at odds with conventional interpretations. Rather than providing us with an account of Marx as an exclusively class-based thinker, Anderson here offers a portrait of Marx for the twenty-first century: a global theorist whose social critique was sensitive to the varieties of human social and historical development, including not just class, but nationalism, race, and ethnicity, as well. Through highly informed readings of work ranging from Marx’s unpublished 1879–82 notebooks to his passionate writings about the antislavery cause in the United States, this volume delivers a groundbreaking and canon-changing vision of Karl Marx that is sure to provoke lively debate in Marxist scholarship and beyond. For this expanded edition, Anderson has written a new preface that discusses the additional 1879–82 notebook material, as well as the influence of the Russian-American philosopher Raya Dunayevskaya on his thinking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It has been widely remarked that Marx's theoretical writings pay less attention to ethical or normative issues than one might initially suppose. Those writings focus more on questions of economic, historical, and sociological theory. Nevertheless, it is obvious that Marx found many features of capitalist society deeply objectionable. The precise nature of those objections in the concern of this books. Scattered throughout Marx's writings (and those of his collaborator, Engels) is a systematic--and thoroughly radical--critique of capitalist society. Marx believed that the ills of capitalist society are neither accidental no incidental; instead they are embedded in the very structure of the capitalist economic system. Arnold carefully articulates and critically evaluates the Marxian charges against capitalism of exploitation and alienation. Marx's radical critique of capitalist society, Arnold further argues, presupposes a set of alternative institutions that do not have the defects attributed to capitalism. He proceeds to reconstruct Marx's vision of post-capitalist society by assuming post-capitalist relations of production (workers' control of the means of production and the abolition of wage labor) as given, and then asking what else can be inferred about post-capitalist society. A careful analysis of this account of the two phases or stages of post-capitalist society (later called 'socialism' and 'communism') reveals that neither could be realized. It has often been said that Marxism may work in theory but not in practice; this book contends that it does not work in theory either. Finally, Arnold provides a framework for thinking critically about all varieties of social criticism, both radical and moderate. Detailing the burden of proof any social critic must meet, this compelling analysis raises questions and addresses issues that go beyond Marx and his radical critique of capitalist society." -- Book jacket

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Das Kapital of the 20th century,Society of the Spectacle is an essential text, and the main theoretical work of the Situationists. Few works of political and cultural theory have been as enduringly provocative. From its publication amid the social upheavals of the 1960's, in particular the May 1968 uprisings in France, up to the present day, with global capitalism seemingly staggering around in it’s Zombie end-phase, the volatile theses of this book have decisively transformed debates on the shape of modernity, capitalism, and everyday life in the late 20th century. This ‘Red and Black’ translation from 1977 is Introduced by Notting Hill armchair insurrectionary Tom Vague with a galloping time line and pop-situ verve, and given a more analytical over view by young upstart thinker Sam Cooper.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in the study of Marx’s thought has shown a revival in recent years, with a number of newly established academic societies, conferences, and journals dedicated to discussing his thought. This book brings together distinguished and up-and-coming scholars to provide a major re-evaluation of historical issues in Marx scholarship and to connect Marx’s ideas with fresh debates in contemporary Anglo-American social and political philosophy. Among the topics discussed are Marx’s relationship to his philosophical predecessors—including Hegel, the young Hegelians, and the utopian socialists—his concept of recognition, his critique of liberalism, and his views on the good life. This book will be of interest to scholars and advanced students interested in Marx, Hegel, the history of political thought, and social and political philosophy.
