Why Marx Was Right

Eagleton does a good throw but doesn't manage to convince.<br/><br/>What I take away from the book:<br/><br/>Nobody should really be dealing with Marx or original source material because who knows what to read, how to read it and then what it would mean anymore in the current day. We need strong criticisms of capitalism that are based in our current day and age. We don't need to keep trying to revive a bunch of long dead guys.<br/><br/>I'll say this is why Piketty was and is such a big deal and there are many other people pushing forward from a current and material understanding of the world. Give people Marxism if you must, but just don't mention Marx. Better yet, start from first principles and figure out what we need here and now.
