Since the onset of global crisis in recent years, academics and economic theorists from various political and cultural backgrounds have been drawn to Marx's analysis of the inherent instability of capitalism. The rediscovery of Marx is based on his continuing capacity to explain the present. In the context of what some commentators have described as a "Marx renaissance," the aim of this book is to make a close study of Marx's principal writings in relation to the major problems of our own society, and to show why and how some of his theories constitute a precious tool for the understanding...

Major political and economic shifts have succeeded one another over the past twenty-five years.

In its brief life, the International Working Men's Association (IWMA) became the symbol of class struggle and influenced the ideas of millions of workers all over the planet. The 150th anniversary of its birth (1864-2014) offers an important...

Karl Marx's thought has returned to the limelight in recent years. After the waning of interest in the 1980s and the "conspiracy of silence" in the 1990s, the literature on Marx is flourishing in the wake of the international financial crisis.
