Summary: The impact of Marxism on our century is obvious. About half the world's population lives under governments that claim to be Marxist, and this number is likely to increase. Intellectually the influence of Marxism has made itself felt not only in the obvious subjects such as politics and sociology, but also in fields such as literature and theology. Yet Marxism is a very varied set of doctrines that have developed and changed considerably in the last hundred years: Marxisms rather than a single unified system. This book explains, in a clear yet comprehensive manner, the history of Marxist ideas. The work of all the major Marxist thinkers is described and analysed, supplemented by a full guide to further reading. The result is a detailed, lucid and reliable guide to the most influential body of thought in our age.
