Karl Marx ist wieder da. Terry Eagleton bricht eine Lanze für den großen Ökonomen und streitbaren Welterklärer: Scharfsinnig, originell und mit britischem Humor widerlegt Eagleton zentrale Argumente gegen den Marxismus, wie "Wir leben doch längst in einer klassenlosen Gesellschaft" oder "Der Marxismus beraubt die Menschen ihrer Freiheit". Der katholische Marxist Eagleton macht klar: An seinem 200. Geburtstag ist Karl Marx aktueller denn je.

This book follows the figure of 'the clever girl' from the post-war to the present and focuses on the fiction, plays and memoirs of contemporary British women writers.

A trenchant analysis of sacrifice as the foundation of the modern, as well as the ancient, social order The modern conception of sacrifice is at once cast as a victory of self-discipline over desire and condescended to as destructive and archaic abnegation.

Taking ten of the most common objections to Marxism-that it leads to political tyranny, that it reduces everything to the economic, that it is a form of historical determinism, and so on-he demonstrates in each case what a woeful travesty of Marx's own thought these assumptions are. In a world in which capitalism has been sh...
