Marx in the marketplace
Michael Prowse reviews Marx's Revenge by Meghnad Desai.
SOME books are more than the sum of their parts; others are less.
Unhappily, Marx's Revenge, falls into the latter category. Many of the
chapters are entertaining and instructive.
Louis this is more guilt by historical association. what happens in history is
obviously complex, contradictory and all too often ironic. Simply making a simple
reduction of the Popular Front to siding with the bourgeousie, is not about the Front
at all but rather a more abstract question

cross-class alliances (such as the popular front that Dmitrov advocated)?
but aren't a lot of the third-world causes you support organized as

History, of course, is important, especially when it is relevant, but in
