About this listen

Written to commemorate the centenary of Karl Marx’s birth, Max Beer, an Austrian historian of the socialist and Marxist movements, presents a clear, detailed and highly accessible work: the first half comprises a biography, full of fascinating quotations and insightful observations whilst the second analyses many aspects of Marx’s historical and economic teachings, with useful exemplars. Furthermore, Beer gives a comprehensive description of Hegel’s dialectical method, vital to an understanding of Marxism, and explores Marx’s attitudes to the ‘Dictatorship of the Proletariat’ and Bolshevism in action. The Life and Teaching of Karl Marx was translated by T.C. Partington and H.J. Stenning. It is read by Greg Wagland.

Narrated clearly and understandably emotive pros with flares of superlatives about the exploitation and illusions of capital. The text can be perceived as slightly prosaic and dense and somewhat dated however it packs it's punches and still abounds with universal truths as relevant today as the day it was written. Personally not adhering lock stock and barrel to Marx's world View it does plant me on firmer ground with which to survey the juggernaut of capital
