Review # 1 was written on 2021-03-05 00:00:00 Bradley Ward I appreciated Freedman's comparison of Marxism at it's inception with the uncanny convergence and accuracy of his theories concerning the evolution of Capitalism and it's status in today's global economy. I am not a student of Marx, leaving me less than qualified to judge the author's suppositions, but I know enough to suggest for anyone interested in Marx and history they will find this a worthwhile read. The book has resulted in me wanting to study Marx in more depth and for that I am grateful. I particularly enjoyed the cultural commentary regarding MASH, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Phillip K. Dick, and Orwell as related to Marxism and society. |
Review # 2 was written on 2015-07-25 00:00:00 Ralph Rivera I wanted to like this a lot more than I did. For some reason, Pico Iyer's writing style makes me think he wants readers to feel sorry for him for not having an easily categorized identity. And I don't feel sorry for him, so it is annoying. He does have some interesting observations about the world but I can't get past his tone to fully appreciate them. |
