Customer Reviews

They complement each other...

In reference to Charles' review, I've read both this book and Ritzer's words on Marx. Charles is definitely correct that Ritzer is easier to understand than the Elster edit, but I think the two complement each other. 19th century German academic translations aren't going to be an easy read, however, what Marx said is essentially here. I wouldn't do as I did and try to read the whole text straight though, but it's an excellent text for linking Marx's words to the specific topics he addresses. The four stars is based on what the text is supposed to be, which is certainly not a contemporary synopsis of Marx's work.
