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.
