Book Hero thinking about your next read

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

This classic study by Henri Lefebvre raises the question of whether today we must study Marx as we study Plato, or rather, whether Marx's work retains a contemporary value and significance; in other words, whether his work contributes to an elucidation of the contemporary world.

For Lefebvre, Marx's thought remains a keyβ€”perhaps even the keyβ€”to an understanding of modern societies and modern reality.
