*Marcello Musto* hosts a series of short presentations speaking to key
concepts that are addressed by Marx and that are vital to making sense of
our world today:

   - *Bob Jessop on the State*
   - *Michael Krätke on Capitalism*
   - *Heather Brown on Gender Equality*
   - *Michael Löwy on Revolution*
   - *Peter Hudis on Political Organization*

*About The Marx Revival*: 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.
