The Marxian Revolutionary Idea

In this volume Robert C. Tucker looks critically at the later writings of Marx and Engels not only as political theory but as the ideology for political revolution. From the vantage point established in his earlier work--that there is a continuity underlying Marx''s writing from the newly discovered manuscripts of 1844 to the mature work Capital--Professor Tucker examines Marx as a social moral and political theorist and a theorist of modernization. The Marxian Revolutionary Idea is followed in thought and application through infancy to maturity in success and failure and finally as it has been transformed by modern socialism.
