Marxism and Literary Criticism
Varför Marx hade rätt
I denna konfrontatoriska och djärva bok tar Terry Eagleton strid med föreställningen om att marxismen är död och begraven. Genom att analysera tio vanliga invändningar mot marxismen att den leder till politiskt tyranni, att den reducerar allting till det ekonomiska, etc. visar han steg för steg vilken sorglig förvanskning av Marx tänkande som dessa argument bygger på. I en värld där kapitalismen har skakats i grunden av flera allvarliga kriser är Varför Marx hade rätt lika aktuell och viktig som den är utmanande och rättfram.
