The Times
Introducing Marx was the brainchild of the legendary Mexican cartoonist Rius. He proved that the comic-book format could be serious and informative as well as entertaining, by creating the friendliest book ever published on an indigestible subject, Karl Marx.
Marx went out of fashion when the Berlin Wall came down and the socialist command economy in Soviet Russia and its satellites collapsed. But did Marx prescribe anything like the Soviet bloc model of socialism? No. For 70 years, his critique was the captive of a model that he would not have recognised or approved.
Great thinkers like Marx do not go away. Rius's classic is still the ideal introduction to a philosopher who is, perhaps, now more than ever relevant as the world moves towards unregulated free-market economies.
