Meaning of Marxism

"In \[D'Amato's\] able hands, Marxist politics come alive and leap before us, pointing a way toward a better world. It's a knockout."-Dave Zirin, author of *What's My Name, Fool?: Sports and Resistance in the United States* In this lively and accessible introduction to the ideas of Karl Marx, with historical and contemporary examples, D'Amato argues that Marx's ideas of globalization, oppression, and social change are more important than ever. **Paul D'Amato** is the associate editor of the *International Socialist Review*. His writing has appeared in *CounterPunch*, *Socialist Worker*, and *SelvesandOthers.org*. He is an activist based in Chicago.
