'Innovative,
serious, properly researched and packed with
information' The Times
Introducing
Marx is 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.
