Long-considered dead by mainstream critics, the basic ideas of Karl Marx are brought to life in this overview of his thought.

Paul D'Amato is managing editor of theInternational Socialist Review. His writing has appeared inCounterPunch,Socialist Worker andSelves and Others.

Every once in a great while you come across a book that changes your outlook on life in a fundamental way. This is one such book. D'Amato makes his points in an accessible way, which isn't always easy to do with Marxist philosophy. A must read for interested political "lefties".

This is the stepping stone for anyone truly interested in Marxism. It launches any novice into the echelons of scholarly understanding. Marx, quite fairly, is diagnosed as a difficult thinker to understand at times. The Meaning of Marxism achieves a simplicity, that is unmatched.
