Why Marx Was Right Terry Eagleton Marx’s Communist Manifesto is considered one of the most influential texts of the past two hundred years. With its rich and uncompromising critique of capitalism, Marx transformed our understanding of human history. In the wake of the current devastating financial crisis, is Marxism simply a relic of a different age? In this combative, controversial book, Terry Eagleton takes vigorous issue with the argument that Marxism is dead and done with. Taking ten of the most common objections to Marxism—that it leads to political tyranny, that it reduces everything to the economic, that it is a form of historical determinism, and so on—he demonstrates in each case what a woeful travesty of Marx’s own thought these assumptions are. In a world in which capitalism has been shaken to its roots, Why Marx Was Right is as urgent and timely as it is brave and candid. Written with Eagleton’s customary trenchancy, clarity and wit, it will attract an audience far beyond the confines of academia. Terry Eagleton is currently Bailrigg Professor of English Literature at the University of Lancaster, England, and Professor of Cultural Theory at the National University of Ireland, Galway.
