Trade ReviewFeatured on the website A Piece of Monologue.
This dictionary will be invaluable for anyone interested in Marx's ideas. The research is thorough, the ground covered is comprehensive, and the careful organisation of the book means that its contents are unusually accessible. Highly recommended. -- David McLellan, Emeritus Professor of Political Theory, University of Kent, UK
This Dictionary by Fraser and Wilde is an impressive achievement. Based on up-to-date scholarship and executed with scrupulous scholarly standards, it offers an excellent introduction to Marx's work and major ideas. Many of the entries are developmental, taking the reader through Marx's thinking as he sharpened his attack on capitalism. All topics in Marx lead to political controversy and intellectual debate. This even-handed work of reference will get anyone off to a good start. -- Terrell Carver, Professor of Political Theory, University of Bristol, UK
