Zašto je Marx bio u pravu

Zašto je Marx bio u pravu

Terry Eagleton

With his exuberant and uncompromising critique of capitalism, Marx transformed our understanding of human history. Is Marxism, in the wake of today's devastating financial crisis, just a mere relic from another era?

In his polemical and controversial book "Why Marx Was Right", Terry Eagleton deals with the prejudice that Marxism is dead and done with. To glorify Karl Marx might seem as perverse as to stand up for the Boston Strangler. Weren't Marx's ideas responsible for despotism, mass murder, labor camps, economic disaster and the loss of freedom for millions of men and women? Wasn't one of his loyal followers a paranoid Georgian peasant named Stalin, and the other a brutal Chinese dictator who could easily have the blood of some thirty million members of his people on his hands? It is true, however, that Marx is responsible for the vast oppression of the communist world about as much as Jesus is responsible for the Inquisition. For one thing, Marx would scoff at the idea that socialism could take root in desperately impoverished, chronically backward societies like Russia and China.

In his analysis of each of these criticisms, Eagleton shows that they are just a miserable travesty of Marx's original thought. In a world where major crises have fundamentally shaken capitalism, the book "Why Marx Was Right" is as necessary and timely as it is bold and daring.

Written with Eagleton's typical sense of wit, humor and clarity, the book will appeal to a much wider readership than the classic academic audience.
