Beskrivning

The 2008 financial crisis revitalised the question of whether capitalism was working and how it might be overturned. More recently, the growth of new social movements across the globe are posing a threat to the economic and political status quo, with Marxist ideas rejuvenated for the 21st century.In this provocative and critically engaged introduction, Ronaldo Munck applies Marx’s theories to the most pressing issues of our times: the environmental crisis, austerity, international development, religion, nationhood, the role of women and LGBTQ+ communities. Crucially, he shows the far-reaching contribution Marx can make to both contemporary debate and political action.Accessible and wide-ranging, Marx 2020 is essential reading for anyone interested in the state of the modern world and the ideas needed for effective change.

Recensioner i media

Lucid and engaging … a timely review of Marxism in theory and practice from an eclectic perspective that leans heavily on Marx and the Marxists yet also draws on a broader body of literature. I highly recommend Marx 2020 as a must read for those who want to engage in this debate on the potential and the limits of Marxism for today’s world.
