The Later Marxism

The Later Marxism by Thorstein Veblen is a comprehensive examination of the evolution of Marxist thought in the later years of the 19th century and early 20th century. The book explores the development of Marxist theory from the time of Marx and Engels to the emergence of Leninism and the Bolshevik Revolution. Veblen provides a critical analysis of the various strands of Marxist thought that emerged during this period, including the revisionist and orthodox schools of Marxism, as well as the emergence of new Marxist movements in Russia and other parts of the world. The book also discusses the impact of Marxist theory on contemporary social and political movements, including the rise of socialism and communism in Europe and the United States. Overall, The Later Marxism is an important contribution to the study of Marxist theory and its impact on modern society.So, again, the Marxian doctrine of progressive proletarian distress, the so-called Verelendungstheorie, which stands pat on the romantic ground of the original Marxism, has fallen into abeyance, if not into disrepute, since the Darwinian conceptions have come to prevail.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
