A very readable introduction to Marxist politics marred somewhat by a lack of explanation on a few key issues brought up, which makes the work as a whole feel slightly patronising - a bunch of examples are listed to back up easy to understand and accept points and then more confusing or contentious points are presented as facts. Also gives a pretty shitty accounting of feminism and toes the Trot (specifically the UK SWP) line slavishly. ( )

A quick and easy read. I agree with the analysis of the problems but vehemently and totally disagree with the proposed solution.
