À propos de cet audio

 Karl Marx's devastating critique of capitalism, and his proposal of communism as the answer to the failings of the capitalist system, bore their greatest fruits in the twentieth century with the formation of the communist state in the Soviet Union. This great venture has now all but completely failed. Yet the force of the communist belief offered the prospect of "justice on this earth" to countless numbers. And Marx's critique has influenced generations of thinkers who call themselves Marxists.

In Marx in 90 Minutes, Paul Strathern offers a concise, expert account of Marx's life and ideas, and explains their influence on man's struggle to understand his existence in the world. The book also includes selections from Marx's work, a brief list of suggested readings for those who wish to delve deeper, and chronologies that place Marx within his own age and in the broader scheme of philosophy.

A good and overall balanced approach to Marx

This audiobook is about Marx's history while dominantly discussing how he developed his ideas throughout his life. The emphasis on his dialectic transformations tells the listener a lot about what events caused him to change his theories. This audiobook praises Marx at some times and critiques him at others and simultaneously discusses the flaws in capitalism

Marx's Life

This was more of a history of Marx's life rather than about Marxism or Communism, it had a distinct American prejudice of Communism as a failure and Capitalism as a success story, which is factually and historically untrue despite the global propaganda from the mainstream media they own...Marx merely underestimated the extent to which Capitalist would go to protect their power and wealth, to stave off the Communist evolution.

More about the man and the ideas

I was hoping for more analysis of what he thought and said not about how he cheated on his wife

this gets significant portions of Marx wrong

the Marxist tradition is complicated and interconnected, making it difficult to summarize in 90 minutes. with that limitation in mind, I wasn't expecting too much. however, this did not even meet my low expectations. not only did it have a strong Pro capitalist bias which was mildly irritating, but there are places where he misunderstands key concepts.

the most egregious misrepresentation is of the labor theory of value. he seems to think that the Marxist theory is in conflict with the laws of supply and demand, but when Marx introduces the LTV he has already made the assumption that goods are trading at their equilibrium price. from this assumption, he concludes that the exchange value of a good is determined by the socially necessary labor time needed to produce it plus the costs of materials and machinery used in the manufacturer process. price is a money value that fluctuates around the exchange value.
