From the Publisher
"Robert J. Antonio's collection on Marx and modernity brings together keyworks of Marx and a variety of contemporary Marxist writings that engage topics such as globalization, information technology, the triumph of neo-liberal market capitalism and global struggles against it. Antonio provides a lucid overview of Karl Marx's life and works, and debates over his legacy that should be extremely useful for contemporary readers."--Douglas Kellner, University of California at Los Angeles
"The essays by Marx are intelligently chosen, the lively commentaries by a host of well-known scholars exhibit the range of his influence, while the outstanding introduction by Robert Antonio illuminates his salience for our time. This is a first-rate collection!"
--Stephen Eric Bronner, Rutgers University
