More than 140 years after Karl Marx's death, interest in his work shows no signs of waning. On the contrary, with each systemic crisis, his political and intellectual legacy seems to experience successive resurgences. But this return to Marx—and the Marxisms that followed—is not without its problems; the theoretical production surrounding the intellectual legacy of Marx's work carries a heavy burden of disputes and debates spanning more than a century, which hinders its proper integration into these times of extreme capitalism and global ecological crisis.
In this incisive work, César Rendueles scrutinizes the Marxist theoretical legacy. In doing so, he identifies its dead ends and defends and develops those analytical elements capable of contributing to the repertoire of ideas that emancipatory forces need to combat the contemporary polycrisis.
