Marx for Beginners

A cartoon book about Marx? Are you sure it's Karl, not Groucho? How can you summarize the work of Karl Marx in cartoons? It took Rius to do it. He's put it all in: the origins of Marxist philosophy, history, economics; of capital, labor, the class struggle, socialism. And there's a biography of "Charlie" Marx besides. Like the companion volumes in the series, Marx for Beginners is accurate, understandable, and very, very funny. The origins of Marxist philosophy, history, economics of capital labor, the class struggle and socialism, all in a series of cartoons. For 70 years, Karl Marx's critique was the captive of a model that he would not have recognized or approved - that of Soviet Russia and its satellites. This book provides an introduction to a philosopher who is more than ever relevant as the world moves towards unregulated free market economies. Completely repackaged and relaunched for a new generation of readers is this popular "Beginner" book--a perfect introduction to Karl Marx's life and thought. Fully illustrated A survey, in cartoon format, of the life and thought of the German political economist and founder of the communist movement FIRST THINGS FIRST-THE READER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO THIS CHARACTER MARX WAS!!
