"An indispensable guide for anyone who wants to be reliably informed about a doctrine that plays a major role in shaping the present-day world. Part dictionary and part encyclopedia, it provides the reader with clear discussions not only of the basic concepts of Marxism and analyses of different interpretations and criticisms but also of the myriad schools and individuals that have contributed to forming the body of Marxist thought over the past century."
