THIS second edition of Marx’s Das Kapital and Capitalism Today by Communist Party of Britain General Secretary Robert Griffiths has a number of important updates which add significantly to the impact of the book.
It’s a gold mine of information and, as a previous reviewer has noted, it explains with great clarity what Marx’s seminal work tells us about our world today and where debate and controversies continue.
It deserves to be widely read and debated, not only throughout the labour movement but also by the emerging climate change movement and among Marxists of different persuasions and traditions.
