Sinopsis
b One of the foremost Marxist critics of his generation
forcefully argues against Marx's irrelevancy '[Eagleton is] a
witty, insightful thinker with a penchant for glib asides and wry
dashes of humor. It’s probably the only book that makes
references to Tiger Woods and Mel Gibson along with Charles
Fourier and Michel Foucault.'—Michael Patrick Brady, i
PopMatters i b b 'Reading a book by Terry Eagleton is like
watching fireworks.'—Dennis O'Brien, i Christian Century i b In
this combative, controversial book, Terry Eagleton takes issue
with the prejudice that Marxism is dead and done with. Taking
ten of the most common objections to Marxism—that it leads
to political tyranny, that it reduces everything to the economic,
that it is a form of historical determinism, and so on—he
demonstrates in each case what a woeful travesty of Marx's
own thought these assumptions are. In a world in which
capitalism has been shaken to its roots by some major crises,
Why Marx Was Right is as urgent and timely as it is brave and
candid. Written with Eagleton's familiar wit, humor, and clarity,
it will attract an audience far beyond the confines of academia.
