Marx and the third world c.1
- London Macmillan 1982
- 222 p.
Karl Marx wrote a great deal about the countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America, but commentators upon his work have subsequently disagreed - sometimes violently about the implications of his observations. In this book, the author strives to disentangle the threads of Marx's narrative and analysis and to demonstrate how, properly understood, they form a coherent pattern and one still capable of application to the world about us. An outstanding merit of the book is that although it makes a signal and distinguished contri bution to Marxism it is at the same time one of the best and clearest introductions to Marxism that one could hope to find.
Pat Ransford's excellent English text contributes materially to the impact of the book.
