Yet the nature of its relevance and some of its key tenets remain poorly understood. This bold intervention brings together the work of leading Marx scholars Slavoj Žižek, Frank Ruda and Agon Hamza, to offer a fresh, radical reinterpretation of Marxism that explains the failures of neoliberalism and lays the foundations for a new emancipatory politics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAvoiding trite comparisons between Marx's worldview and our current political scene, the authors show that the current relevance and value of Marx's thought can better be explained by placing his key ideas in dialogue with those that have attempted to replace them. Reading Marx through Hegel and Lacan, particle physics, and modern political trends, the authors provide new ways to explain the crisis in contemporary capitalism and resist fundamentalism in all its forms. \u003ci\u003eReading Marx\u003c\/i\u003e will find a wide audience amongst activists and scholars.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\u0026lt;br\u0026gt; font-size: 11px\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\"\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduction: Reading Marx: Unexpected Reunions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 1: Marx Reads Object-Oriented-Ontology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 2: Marx in the Cave\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 3: Imprinting Negativity: Hegel Reads Marx\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTo Resume (and not Conclude)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eNotes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Philosophy [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Philosophy\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Philosophy%20%5BHP%5D%22\"\u003eHP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441788416280,"sku":"9781509521401","price":38.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509521401.jpg?v=1785025284","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/reading-marx-hardback-9781509521401","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
