Marxism: An Autopsy
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Jacket: No dust jacket - paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner.
A landmark work of political philosophy and intellectual history, Marxism: An Autopsy presents a rigorous and unflinching critique of Marxist theory in the aftermath of its real-world applications. Henry Bamford Parkes systematically dissects the foundations of Marxist doctrine — its economic assumptions, historical determinism, and revolutionary prescriptions — exposing the contradictions and failures that undermined its promise. Written with clarity and conviction, the work argues that Marxism, far from being a scientific guide to social progress, was a secular religion riddled with fatal internal inconsistencies. Parkes illustrates how the ideology collapsed under the weight of practical reality, drawing on historical evidence from Soviet Russia and beyond. A compelling and authoritative examination, this title remains an essential read for students of political thought, economics, and twentieth-century history.
