More about the book
Focusing on the evolution of Marxist theory, this critical study examines its roots in 19th-century European history, particularly the influences of the French and Russian Revolutions. It explores how the political and intellectual challenges in Central Europe from 1848 to 1948 shaped Marxism as a significant movement. The author argues that Marxism, fundamentally a 19th-century phenomenon, effectively concluded with the First World War and the Russian Revolution, suggesting its doctrines have since been integrated into broader historical narratives.
