Anti-globalization activists would do well to check out <i>Marx's Revenge</i>, which is an economic history aimed at the general reader.

Irish Times

A criticism from the Left was that it was over-optimistic to hope for 'social capitalism.' Well, perhaps. But capitalism is all we've got and Meghnad Desai's book <i>Marx's Revenge</i>, published by Verso, is brilliantly timed.

- William Keegan, The Observer

Marx, if we did but know it, is the prophet and advocate of globalization.

- Will Hutton, Independent Magazine

Se alle

A stimulating, judicious and learned book, at times provocative and merry, but, above all, thoughtful on where the world has come from . and the errors and breakthroughs of judgement which allow us to treat our economic world with enhanced self-consciousness.

Development Policy Review

In this provocative and enthusiastically revisionist book, the distinguished economist Meghnad Desai argues that capitalism's recent efflorescence is something Karl Marx anticipated and indeed would, in a certain sense, have welcomed. Capitalism, as Marx understood it, would only reach its limits when it was no longer capable of progress. Desai argues that globalization, in bringing the possibility of open competition on world markets to producers in the Third World, has proved that capitalism is still capable of moving forwards.
Marx's Revenge opens with a consideration of the ideas of Adam Smith and Hegel. It proceeds to look at the nuances in the work of Marx himself, and concludes with a survey of more recent economists who studied capitalism and attempted to unravel its secrets, including Joseph Schumpeter, John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich Hayek.

In the triumphant resurgence of capitalism, the one thinker who is vindicated is Karl Marx
