It combines readability with intellectual rigour and distils more than a quarter of a century of Thomas Sowellâs research and thought on the philosophical and economic doctrines of Karl Marx.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts central theme is that Marxian philosophy must be understood before Marxian economics can be defined. The book discusses Marxâs ideas, including his philosophy of history, concept of capitalist exploitation, morality and business cycle theory. The authorâs treatment is balanced, though often critical and displays a mastery of Marxâs own writings which are liberally extracted throughout the text. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‘Among the best short accounts of Marxism ever, whatever the reader’s own politics are.
