This book ended up falling much flatter than I first imagined. It does set itself as more of a history of Marxismis, the time of Marx, how economy has increasingly changed (altough some of the points are not as useful since the sub prime crisis), the Wester Marxism turn and the Frankfurt School turn dueing the 20th century and the possible future roads of marxism. None of this is ever explained in detail on why exactly these turns happened, and what philosophical or political ideas have changed. It is always argued that “due to factor X things changed”.
Quite a bad start for my May Theory reading.
