Marxism: Philosophy and Economics

Thomas Sowell

Sowell explains the structure of Marxist thought and critiques its assumptions about value, class, history, and economic coordination.

What stuck

  • Ideas can become politically powerful even when their assumptions are shaky.
  • The appeal of a theory often lies partly in the moral drama it offers.
