Why Marx Was Right

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.

In aceasta carte combativa, controversata, Terry Eagleton contesta prejudecatile ca marxismul este mort si terminat. Luand zece dintre cele mai obisnuite obiectii fata de marxism - ca duce la tiranie politica, ca reduce totul la economic, ca este o forma de determinism istoric si asa mai departe - el demonstreaza in fiecare caz ce o trista travestie a lui Marx am crezut ca aceste presupuneri sunt.
