The triumph of neoliberalism and the end of the Cold War have virtually obliterated Marx's legacy -- outside doctrinaire circles. Going beyond both structuralist and deconstructive readings, Barbour's book presents another Marx whose texts reveal multiple plateaus of meaning (held together by a commitment to equality). What becomes evident in the study is that exorcising legacies exacts a steep price on critical thought. -- Fred Dallmayr, University of Notre Dame In this extraordinary study Babour shows that he is Marx's star reader, finding subtleties in neglected minor works as well as in major ones supposedly well known. Deploying an impressive philosophical apparatus - Althusser to Ranciere -- Babour's work creates a stimulating and lively intertextuality that liberates Marx from his best friends and worst enemies. -- Terrell Carver, University of Bristol-UK
