Ethical Marxism and its Radical Critics

`A very successful attempt to rescue an ethical democratic Marx and to compare and contrast this with recent post-Marxist trends. There is a succinct and concise exposition of Marx's early humanism. This political ethic is defended against representative examples of Marx's radical critics by showing it to be compatible with elements of the Frankfurt school, influential analyses of post-industrial society, green approaches and feminism.' - David McLellan, Professor of Political Theory, University of Kent

'...belongs on the reading list of any course dealing with the theory and practice of politics, to give to the next generation a sense of the power of Marx's political thinking.' - Ian Forbes, History of Political Thought
