One of the foremost Marxist critics of his generation forcefully argues against Marx's irrelevancy "[Eagleton is] a witty, insightful thinker with a penchant for glib asides and wry dashes of humor. Its probably the only book that makes references to Tiger Woods and Mel Gibson along with Charles Fourier and Michel Foucault."Michael Patrick Brady, PopMatters "Reading a book by Terry Eagleton is like watching fireworks."Dennis O'Brien, Christian Century In this combative, controversial book, Terry Eagleton takes issue with the prejudice that Marxism is dead and done with. Taking ten of the most common objections to Marxismthat it leads to political tyranny, that it reduces everything to the economic, that it is a form of historical determinism, and so onhe demonstrates in each case what a woeful travesty of Marx's own thought these assumptions are. In a world in which capitalism has been shaken to its roots by some major crises, Why Marx Was Right is as urgent and timely as it is brave and candid. Written with Eagleton's familiar wit, humor, and clarity, it will attract an audience far beyond the confines of academia.

Recensioner i media

"Each of the chapters of this erudite and breezy . . . tract begins with a series of assertions about Marx and Marxism, which Eagleton then proceeds to debunk . . . through excursions into philosophy, political practice and literary analogy. . . . Polemically charged and enjoyable."Guardian "A lively defense. . . . Eagleton offers a richer, more complex and nuanced picture of the father of modern socialism. . . . Throughout, the author is witty, entertaining, and incisive."Publishers Weekly Not so much a good read as a romp, this is an irresistibly lively, and thought-provoking essay.Michael Kerrigan, Scotsman "A short, witty, and highly accessible jaunt through Marxs thought in preparation for the second coming."Frank Barry, Irish Times "Why Marx Was Right is no abstract argumentation but an eloquent, fact-based rebuttal of the usual criticisms of Marxism."John Green, Morning Star "This is a wonderful book that every socialist should have on their bookshelves."Gareth Jenkins, Socialist Worker "Why Marx Was Right is designed for a wide audience and deserves one. With flair, sparkling wit, and no fear of vigorous rebuttal, Eagleton's book seeks to address some of the most often heard criticisms of Marx and Marxist thought. . . . Terry Eagleton has taken much of the best the Marxist tradition has to offer in thinking about class, nature, revolution, history, and many such grand subjects, and summarized it briefly with clarity, intelligence, and a sense of humor. And for this he deserves our thanks."Matthijs Krul, Marx & Philosophy Review of Books "Refreshing and challenging. . . . [A] most compelling read."Michael OSullivan, Tablet (Books of the Year) "Terry Eagleton takes on some of the most common objections to Marxism and answers each in turn, in a clear, non-technical and often humorous way."London Review of Books Much of it is illuminating Jonathan Wolff, Times Literary Supplement
