Description:
<DIV><b>Who was the real Karl Marx?</b></div><DIV></div><DIV><BR>In the Western world, and especially in the United States, Karl Marx is perceived as the spiritual godfather of Lenin and Stalin—someone bent on creating a state where everyone worships a centralized bureaucracy. Social philosopher Erich Fromm argues that Marx has been entirely misrepresented and misunderstood, and that Marx’s ideas have been misappropriated to further causes antithetical to his true intentions.</div><DIV> </div><DIV>Fromm’s study presents Marx as a humanist and social scientist. Painstakingly traveling through Marx’s oeuvre, Fromm shows how Marx’s real goal was to eliminate man’s alienation, and allow individuals to live and appreciate a life of freedom. Furthermore, Fromm believes, Marx would have considered the Communist governments of Russia and Cuba as wrong-headed. <i>Marx’s Concept of Man</i> also includes a selection of Marx’s <i>Early Writings</i>, brought to English-speaking readers for the first time in 1961.</div><DIV> </div><DIV>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm, with rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.</div><DIV> </div>
