The Point is to Change It!

Book excerpt: Marx's ideas are once again vital, in a world wracked by economic crisis and the gap between rich and poor greater than ever. But his philosophy is often misrepresented and mystified, leaving the reader at best confused and at worst with the wrong idea of Marx's intentions. This small book, aimed primarily at the activist, explains Marx's ideas in as clear and simple language as possible, using contemporary examples to illustrate concepts and arguments.
