Tom Cate, Robert L. Heilbroner,

Political Economy and Marxism

In the lucid style and engaging manner that have become his trademark, Robert L. Heilbroner explains and explores the central elements of Marxist thought: the meaning of a dialectical philosophy, the usefulness and problems of a materialist interpretation of history, the power of Marx's socioanalytic penetration of capitalism, and the hopes and disconcerting problems involved in a commitment to socialism. Scholarly without being academic, searching without assuming a prior knowledge of the subject, Dr. Heilbroner enables us to appreciate the greatness of Mark while avoiding an uncritical stance toward his work.
