The pleasures and perils of genius
I finished this book two weeks ago and I hadn't had the time to write a review until now. It is a well-rounded description of the economic situation in Britain immediately after feudalism ended followed by a bit of history on the creation of working-class radicalism, its co-option of political economy and ultimate failure to bring about a coherent socialist ideology. All this background is useful to deal with contemporary strains of socialism which have decided to incorporate market mechanisms into their theories and, in doing so, have abandoned any semblance of socialism.
This book is very useful to understand Marx more deeply, but it doesn't broach a discussion on the role of the state (even if this is transitional). All in all, a very well-written book that at times is repetitive but immensely rewarding.
