[Editor Recommendation] This is a popular book on Marxist theory written by Western Marxist research experts. In the context of globalization, various chronic diseases within capitalism have emerged one after another. From the urban-rural gap, wealth inequality to economic plunder, as well as the corruption revealed by global hegemony in the financial tsunami, there are various signs that the opportunity for the entire world to re-understand and reflect on Marxism is emerging. The book refutes the world's misunderstanding of Marxism through a large amount of empirical content, and further clarifies the feasibility of operating a market economic system under the guidance of Marxist theory. It also finds a good convergence point between Marxism and the concept of sustainable development, and has far-reaching and operational guiding significance for current economic construction work. At present, some readers in China do not have a deep or thorough understanding of Marxism; abroad, there are also some people who attempt to use Hegel to deny Marxism, Marxism to deny Lenin, and Lenin to deny China's revolution, construction, reform and opening up, and attempt to lead China's socialist modernization and reform and opening up astray. This book by Terry Eagleton refutes ten typical views that deny Marxism in current Chinese and Western societies one by one. It can be said to be a resounding slap in the face to these people. The book's text is smooth and clear, explaining profound things in simple terms and is easy to understand, providing a new perspective for domestic readers to further understand and understand Marxism. This book can not only have a certain influence in theoretical circles, academic circles, but also among the masses, so as to continuously deepen people's understanding, grasp and recognition of Marxism and socialism.
[Celebrity Recommendation] The significant advantage of Eagleton's work is that the question "why Marx is right" is extremely clear, and the "current views against Marxism" in each topic are also very clearly stated, and the author uses the most popular-but not crude--way to launch a clear-cut debate. ——Tian Pengying (Dean of the School of Marxism at Northeastern University) We cannot live without Marx. Without the memory of Marx and the legacy of Marx, there would be no future: no matter what, there must be a certain Marx, his talent, or at least some of his spirit. ——Jacques Derrida (contemporary French philosopher and founder of deconstruction) Marx's true thoughts have been deliberately distorted by some right-wing idiots and left-wing idealists. This is a huge tragedy. This work continues the author's relaxed writing style... Readers should read this book and explore the details that cannot be expanded on in the book. ——Prometheus (Amazon US readers. September 13, 2015) A brilliant polemic! A must-read for Marxists! Every page contains breathtaking insights in defense of Marx's philosophy. ——Bright (Amazon US Readers, December 29, 2016) Warning: Don't buy this book! If you are worried about the development trend of gentrification of the working class replacing conservative capitalist illusions, please don't read this book! If you still want to stay safely and comfortably in the dream flower woven by capitalism,
