World to Win
«The main reason for writing this 700-plus-page volume is to prove that the German thinker remains a vital source of inspiration in our time...Unlike many other biographies of Marx, the present volume combines in-depth personality narrative and significant comments on Marx's own works. This analysis not only looks at the social and political context of the early industrial revolution Europe, but also takes into consideration the intellectual environment of the time, German philosophy, and socialist and liberal ideas... Highly recommended.»

The globalised world of the twenty-first century has many parallels with that of the period running up to the cataclysm of 1914, namely the world predicted by Karl Marx. Communications go that much faster, but this is a difference of degree, not type. Les mer

«This book makes clear that Marx's ideas, going on two centuries old, still have meaning in the present. Outstanding. [A book] to turn to for reference and deeper insight.»
Kirkus, starred review
«A lucid, scholarly guide ... Those searching for a truly detailed discussion of Marx should turn here.»
Andrew Stuttaford, The Wall Street Journal
«A persuasive and accessible guide to how a GND could be made a reality.»
Ann Pettifor, Guardian
«A World to Win is an illuminating investigation into the multiple personalities of this infinitely fascinating figure. There's a strong case to be made that Marx was neither a philosopher nor a scientist. He discovered his own "ways of seeing" that defied and continue to defy easy categorization.»
Jason Barker, Los Angeles Review of Books
