Karl Marx: Hero or Zero

Marx''s ideas are both loved and hated, but there can be no doubt that he was a great thinker. This book sets out to outline Marx''s work and to recognise his contribution to knowledge in many different areas. The book focuses on areas of Marx''s teaching where experience shows that important future developments can be made. This is particularly the case in three areas. First, the way that revolutions occur, secondly, whether society can ever move away from bureaucracy and, thirdly, the generation of ideas.
