The Essential Marx

Presents Marx's thoughts and places them in the context of the early 20th century.

Shortly before he was assassinated in 1940, Trotsky - one of Marx's most devoted converts and a key figure in the Russian Revolution - interpreted the great theorist's economic philosophy. Compact and fascinating, this invaluable work not only presents Marx's thoughts in his own words, it places them in the swirling context of the early 20th century.
