Summary: A series of book for the pseudo-intellectual
Review: I strongly condemn the "[X] for Beginners" series of books. This series of books is designed not for a person who wants to learn seriously about a subject, but instead for the pseudo-intellectual who wants to memorize a bunch of neat-sounding phrases that make him sound like he knows what he's talking about. Marx's ideas are still important, if only because there are so many misguided people who still follow his bankrupt creed. Accordingly, his works should be treated with the respect they deserve. If you want to know about Marx, READ THE STUFF HE WROTE! Don't waste your money or your brain cells on this cartoonish bunk.

Summary: A spectacular and engaging introduction Marxism.
Review: In the period of post-soviet globalization, the writings and vision of Karl Marx continue to bring compelling insight to the unfolding of global capitalism. Denigrated and vilified by the ruling class in the west, Marx remains a storehouse of analytical tools for grasping the reasons behind capitalisms ravages. This is must reading for those curious to go beyond the front page headlines of US newspapers.
