Rigorous and insightful, the contributors offer a potent reminder of Marx’s analytic brilliance and ongoing relevance. An essential guide for anyone interested in the history of radical thought and the struggle for a more egalitarian future.” – Astra Taylor
“A great guide to the worldwide and transdisciplinary travels of Marx’s influence, as well as to the vast theoretical landscape of his oeuvre.” – Göran Therborn
“With a brilliant introduction and sections on Marx’s key writings, Marxism’s reception, and topical themes [ . . . ] an invaluable guide for scholars and students.” – Rosemary Hennessy
