Description
Marx: A Very Short Introduction by Peter Singer offers a concise look into the life, ideas, and lasting impact of Karl Marx, one of the most influential thinkers in modern history. The book explores Marx's revolutionary critique of capitalism, focusing on his key concepts like class struggle, historical materialism, and the theory of surplus value. Singer explains how Marx believed that capitalism inherently exploits workers and leads to class inequalities, and he predicted that it would ultimately give way to a classless, communist society. The book also touches on Marx's collaboration with Friedrich Engels, the significance of The Communist Manifesto, and the complexity of Das Kapital. Despite the political failures of some regimes that claimed to follow Marx’s ideas, Singer highlights Marx’s enduring relevance in understanding economic power dynamics, social inequality, and the tensions within capitalist societies.
