Offers an account of Marx's thought, his works and theories, providing an useful guide to the important ideas of this thinker. This book introduces the key Marxist concepts and themes and examines the ways in which they have influenced philosophical and political thought.
"This elegant and beautifully written guide is, in its own way, a perfect complement to the brilliance and wit of Marx's own writingIt manages to combine a scholarly and comprehensive account of its subject with a compelling narrative, presented in an engaging and very readable style." - Janet Wolff, University of Manchester, UK
"In a field not noted for lucid exposition, John Seed brings Marx's thought to life in a beautifully written text which puts us back in touch with one of the formative thinkers of the modern world. It is not only a guide for the perplexed, but a significant contribution to the study of Marx." - John Tosh, Roehampton University, UK
John Seed's book is a masterly introduction to the thought and politics of Karl Marx. The book is, first, ambitious, reflecting on a wide range of material... Throughout, the study is well organised, rhetorically sharp and engaging, but it is most impressive in the clarity and direction it imparts to difficult concepts within Marx's oeuvre, including texts co-authored with Engels... Marx: A Guide for the Perplexed should not only serve as an excellent aid to reading Marx, but qualifies in its own right as an original contribution to Marx's thought and politics. -- Political Studies Review Vol. 10
