Musto and Foster speak to their chapters in *The Marx Revival: Key Concepts
and New Interpretations*.

*About the book*: The planet is in deep trouble because of capitalism, and
Karl Marx, freed from the chains of “real socialism,” is being rediscovered
all around the world as the thinker who provided us with its most
insightful critique. *The Marx Revival *is the best, most complete and most
modern guide to Marx’s ideas that has appeared since the fall of the Berlin
Wall. Written by highly reputed international experts, in a clear form
accessible to a wider public, it brings together the liveliest and most
thought-provoking contemporary interpretations of Marx’s work. It presents
what he actually wrote in respect of 22 key concepts, the areas that
require updating as a result of changes since the late-nineteenth century,
and the reasons why it is still of such relevance in today’s world. The
result is a collection that will prove indispensable both for specialists
and for a new generation approaching Marx’s work for the first time.
