review 1: A very useful collection of chapters, each one written as a correction to putative critics of Marx - although, many people will have heard these dusty old pseudo-objections many times before. So, if you need to gather your arguments but cannot face reading all Marx's work or don't know where to start, then Eagleton has done you a fine service. Well written, well argued, this book shows that Marx's work is far more subtle and timeless than often assumed. It also interestingly illuminates the current economic-political crisis, allowing how Marx still has much to contribute to understanding our predicament.
review 2: I found it quite interesting. Nothing particularly new here. It is shame that his own views are so clearly expressed because it colours the argume
... morent and makes me suspicious. In the end it doesn't explain the dreadful failure of Marx's ideas in practice. Capitalism has an impressive record of reinventing and adapting itself. Marx is a timely reminder that it doesn't have to be the only game in time. less

Good, but with some glaring holes. Didn't care for the Bolshevik apologism, either.

An excellent defense of Marxist thought and its relevance in the modern world.
