The distinguished Marx researcher Marco Iorio provides an insightful introduction for anyone who wants to know what Karl Marx really has to say without bias. In this critical and constructive overall interpretation, all important topics are addressed: from philosophy of history and social theory to economic and political theory, as well as revolutionary theory and moral philosophical issues. The secondary literature considered encompasses all currently relevant movements, including analytical Marxism, postcolonialism, poststructuralism, and post- or neo-Marxism. Thus, this introduction is also excellent as a course book for classes and as supplementary reading for studies.
