Karl Marx: An Intellectual Biography
DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"Twenty years after the collapse of Communism, as Capitalism spirals into global crisis, would the theories of Karl Marx offer any socio-economic guidance? Karl Marx – An Intellectual Biographyby Rolf Hosfeld is a new, transparent critique of Marx’s turbulent life. Winner of the 2010 Book of the Year Award of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, this book offers modern insight into a contradictory man, and includes his misjudgements as well as his pioneering ideas. To quote the author, “Marx has been imprisoned by contrasting ideologies until the year 1989...His answers have proved wrong, but many of his questions remain unsolved."
