Sommario/riassunto

Crisis and Change Today explains the basic principles of Marxist thought for students, shaped around key questions of history, economics, class structure, philosophy, and the social sciences. Even though the first edition was written during the wake of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, Marxist sociology is still relevant as the failure of those regimes has not proven that capitalism can solve all social problems. The second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to be relevant for students toda
