Editorial Reviews

Gottlieb provides a lucid and lively (even contentious) overview of Marx's own work, the betrayal of the original vision of Marxism by socialist and communist movements between 1880 and 1935, the rebirth of Marxist theory in Western Marxism and socialist-feminism, nd important contemporary concerns. Accessible to general readers, but also of relevance to scholars. Paper edition (unseen), $15.95. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
