Critical Companion to Contemporary Marxism

摘要

Is Marxism still of interest or is it now dead - its fate sealed by neoliberalism? The editors of this volume argue that Marxism persists, is productive and has the capacity to adapt to context and cultures (xxi). The book is written from the standpoint of academic commentators who sympathize with Marxism itself. The volume begins with "prefigurations" - the context in which contemporary Marxism has developed. It then moves on to "configurations'" -looking at the different schools within Marxist theory. It concludes with chapters on key figures.
