Marx at the Millennium

Marx at the Millennium by Cyril Smith, published by Pluto Press in 1996, is a thought-provoking exploration of Marxism in the context of contemporary social challenges. This edition, comprising 182 pages, presents a critical examination of Marx’s ideas and their relevance in today’s world, particularly as Marxism faces perceptions of obsolescence amidst a global social crisis.

In this book, Cyril Smith argues that the Marxist tradition has often overlooked the core principles articulated by Marx himself. Readers will find a detailed discussion on political ideologies, including communism and socialism, as well as insights into the historical and theoretical frameworks that underpin these concepts. Smith’s work invites a reevaluation of Marx’s contributions, positioning them as a source of inspiration for addressing modern political and social issues.
