Reviews

'It is no surprise that in times like these we see a major revival of interest in Marx. But which Marx will be revived? The essays collected here portray a thinker far removed from old-school orthodoxies. Complicating received understandings of labor, class struggle, and revolution, they reveal a restless intellect grappling with migration and ecological destruction; democracy, nationalism and war; faultiness of gender, ethnicity and race. The result is a revelation: a Marx for our times.' Nancy Fraser, New School for Social Research, New York 'The Marx Revival is a book brimming with new insights and perspectives on a great, complex intellectual oeuvre, only now beginning to be published in full. This is Marx for the 21st century.' Goeran Therborn, University of Cambridge 'The Marx Revival will be the place to start for readers seeking sweeping, comprehensive, and professional summaries of the state of play in Marx scholarship. This highly-recommended collection offers a first-rate analysis of the leading problems, themes, and concepts in the field by leading scholars from many disciplines.' Gregory Claeys, University of London 'This edited volume on the concepts and interpretations of Karl Marx is a timely collection that appeals to at least three overlapping audiences ... The chapters are well written, even exciting; Musto's chapter on communism, for example, is written as though he has much to say and is running out of time - a nice reflection of the global recession of 2008 and the current pandemic economy.' M. J. Wert, Choice
