Summary: Essential reading for Marxist theorists
Review: Baudrillard's book Mirror of Production reworks neo-Marxist theory and expands/critiques various concepts of such thinkers as Kristeva, Althusser, and makes a strong case outlining numerous misreadings of Marx, as well as providing a useful deconstruction of Marx's concept of use-value. An essential text for Marxist theory in the twenty-first century.
