Marx's Revenge by Meghnad Desai
In this provocative and enthusiastically revisionist book, distinguished economist Meghnad Desai argues that capitalism's recent efflorescence is something Marx anticipated and indeed would, in a certain sense, have welcomed.
Anti-globalization activists would do well to check out Marx's Revenge, which is an economic history aimed at the general reader* Irish Times *
A criticism from the Left was that it was over-optimistic to hope for 'social capitalism.' Well, perhaps. But capitalism is all we've got and Meghnad Desai's book Marx's Revenge, published by Verso, is brilliantly timed. -- William Keegan * The Observer *
Marx, if we did but know it, is the prophet and advocate of globalization. -- Will Hutton * Independent Magazine *
A stimulating, judicious and learned book, at times provocative and merry, but, above all, thoughtful on where the world has come from . and the errors and breakthroughs of judgement which allow us to treat our economic world with enhanced self-consciousness. * Development Policy Review *
