The re-publication of Karl Korsch's Karl Marx (originally published in 1938) makes available to a new generation of readers the most concise account of Karl Marx's thought by one of the major figures of 20th-century Western Marxism. It brings Marx's work to life for non-specialist readers. As Michael Buckmiller writes in his new introduction to the work, Korsch wanted his book to serve as a passport into the non-dogmatic sections of the American labour movement. The result is a bracing, concise and accessible overview of the entirety of Marx's thought, and a pungent history of Marxism.
