Free Download Matteo Battistini, "Global Marx: History and Critique of the Social Movement in the World Market "
English | ISBN: 9004520694 | 2022 | 283 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Global Marx is a collective research on Marx’s account of capital’s domination through his critique of disciplinary languages, investigation of political structures and analysis of specific political spaces within the world market. His discourse appears here as global not only because global is the geography of the world market but also because Marx redefined the relationships between the spaces on which capital exerts its command. Global Marx

Free Download Michel Henry, Kristien Justaert, Frédéric Seyler, "Marx: An Introduction"

According to Michel Henry, no thinker has been more influential than Marx, and no one has been more misunderstood. With his characteristic clarity and elegance, Henry seeks to pull out the philosophical heart of Marx’s work and the reasons this complex philosophy has so often been simplified, distorted and obscured.

The global economic crisis and recession that began in 2008 had at least one unexpected outcome: a surge in sales of Karl Marx’s Capital. Although mainstream economists and commentators once dismissed Marx’s work as outmoded and flawed, some are begrudgingly acknowledging an analysis that sees capitalism as inherently unstable. And of course, there are those, like Michael Heinrich, who have seen the value of Marx all along, and are in a unique position to explain the intricacies of Marx’s thought.

Free Download Jacek Tittenbrun, "From Marx to Warner"
English | ISBN: 1443898805 | 2017 | 580 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The book offers an in-depth analysis of several important theories of social class and stratification, both past and present. This critique is underpinned by a single, coherent analytic framework organised around the notion of ownership. This original approach allows the book to offer alternative treatments of the issues dealt with by the thinkers discussed here. The central argument here is that there are only two classical theories of social class, namely those developed by Marx and Weber, and this clear systematisation of the main attributes of approaches to class and stratification makes it possible to see that many theories traditionally considered as class ones refer, in fact, to social stratification.

English | 2011 | pages: 211 | ISBN: 1349325171, 0230276547 | PDF | 0,6 mb
The concepts of alienation and its overcoming are central to Marx’s thought. They underpin his critique of capitalism and his vision of future society. Marx’s ideas are explained in rigorous and clear terms. They are situated in the context of the Hegelian ideas that inspired them and put into dialogue with contemporary debates.

Free Download Wlodzimierz Brus, Kazimierz Laski, "From Marx to the Market: Socialism in Search of an Economic System"
English | 2002 | pages: 186 | ISBN: 0198283997, 0198233027 | PDF | 10,0 mb
Distinguished economists Brus and Laski-who were involved with the Planning Office of the Polish economy in the 1950s and 1960s-here develop a theoretical system of economic management which avoids the failings of both market capitalism and central planning. This book examines Marxists claim to socialism’s economic rationality and studies the application of the concept in the "real socialism" of Communist party orthodoxy as well as in the tentative attempts at "market socialism", particularly in Hungary and Yugoslavia. The analysis focuses on general features of the evolution of the socialist economic system, but national experiences are used to point out the advances that have been made and the flaws in the theoretical models that have been developed.

The 2008 financial crisis revitalised the question of whether capitalism was working and how it might be overturned. More recently, the growth of new social movements across the globe are posing a threat to the economic and political status quo, with Marxist ideas rejuvenated for the 21st century.

Free Download Pamela M. Pilbeam, "French Socialists Before Marx: Workers, Women and the Social Question in France, 1796-1852"
English | 2000 | pages: 270 | ISBN: 190268317X, 0773521992, 0773521984 | PDF | 2,1 mb
French socialism traces its origins to the revolutionary communist Gracchus Babeuf (1760-1797) and for a time during the Second Republic socialists such as Louis Blanc, Etienne Canet, Victor Considérant, Jeanne Deroin, Pauline Roland, Blanqui, and Raspail occupied a prominent place in the attempt to create a reforming social democracy. For Karl Marx, and the dominant academic historians of twentieth-century France who took up his thesis, the early French socialists were worthy only of faint praise or scorn, yet the French parliamentary socialist groups that emerged in the 1880s can be understood only through reference to their predecessors. French Socialists before Marx identifies the major issues for French socialists between 1796 and the 1850s – revolution, religion, education, the status of women, association, and work. Pilbeam demonstrates that the socialists’ answer to emerging capitalist competition and social conflict was association, while conservatives, in contrast, defended a liberal economy and united to persecute, prosecute, and deport socialists. French Socialists before Marx fills a significant void in socialist studies, enhancing our understanding of nineteenth-century social thought and strategies. It will be invaluable reading for students of history, politics, gender, French, and European studies.
