The fall of the Berlin Wall had enormous symbolic resonance marking the collapse of Marxist politics and economics. Indeed Marxist regimes have failed miserably and with them it seems all reason to take the writings of Karl Marx seriously. Jonathan Wolff argues that if we detach Marx the critic of current society from Marx the prophet of some never-to-be-realized worker s paradise he remains the most impressive critic we have of liberal capitalist bourgeois society. The author shows how Marx s main ideas still shed light on wider concerns about culture and society and he guides the reader through Marx s notoriously difficult writings. Wolff also argues that the value of a great thinker does not depend on his or her views being true but on other features such as originality insight and systematic vision. From this perspective Marx still richly deserves to be read. Why Read Marx Today? reinstates Marx as an important critic of current society and not just a figure of historical interest.
