Introducing Marxism - 2nd Edition by Rupert Woodfin (Paperback)

The book "Introducing Marxism" provides a comprehensive and accessible guide to understanding Karl Marx's original philosophy, its roots in 19th century European ideology, and his radical economic and social criticism of capitalism that inspired revolutions throughout the 20th century.

The text examines alternative Marxist approaches, including Gramsci, the Frankfurt School, and Althusser, as well as postmodern interpretations of Marxism and the specter of "post-Marxism" in Derrida's confrontation with Fukuyama's "end of history" doctrine.

This book is a must-read for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of Marx's ideas and their relevance to contemporary political and social issues.
