Equal parts comprehensive, accessible, and engaging, it presents an unconventional reinterpretation of class struggle. Maffettone sheds light on Marx the individual, the intellectual, the political leader and icon, and links his lasting legacy to contemporary theories of justice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs one of the most prominent intellectual presences in history, Marx should not be read as a theorist of communism and socialism. Rather, he was, is, and shall remains today and remain for the foreseeable future, a radical critic of liberalism and capitalism. Within this innovative interpretive framework, he must be kept absolutely present in the analysis of contemporary politics. Under such premise, the volume explores Marx's life, his thoughts, his most important writings, his works on historical materialism and economic theory with a focus on concepts of labor, commerce, capitalism, and surplus. The book also includes discussions on the \u003ci\u003eManuscripts\u003c\/i\u003e of 1844, the \u003ci\u003eManifesto\u003c\/i\u003e of 1848, and a brief critical summary of \u003ci\u003eCapital\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA truly definitive work on the \"phenomenon\" that is Marx, this critical introduction will be of immense interest to scholars and researchers of political science, modern history, cultural studies, social anthropology, political philosophy, critical theory, justice, and economics, as well as appeal to the general reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSebastiano Maffettone\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Italian philosopher and public intellectual.
