Wraith was the first title for his Manifesto Marx thought. Derrida gets in this book to make a critique of Marx's legacy in the contemporary world, a poured from their particular philosophical critical theory: deconstruction.

Jacques Derrida criticizes a new dogmatism, a new intolerance that has taken control of Europe, capitalist dogma that insists on the death of Marx and Marxism. For Derrida is a need to counter new spectra, "spirits" Marxian that survive in European culture, not to rehabilitate that we agree that it is not necessary to repeat, but to break the censorship and prohibition stigmatize everything related with him, keep alive the dialogue with his supporters to declare.

Based on the distinction between justice and law, and torn between two views (the legacy of messianism and German philosopher), Specters of Marx is mostly testimony intempestiva- bet-or a power position. Derrida is in favor of a certain Marxism that counters the prevailing capitalist doctrine which eschews the constant and insistent voices in a given geopolitical space, deny the survival of the thought of Marx and affirm their recovery impossible.

"Specters of Marx is not exactly a book on Marx; It is a reading of Marx in the context of the defeat of those who proclaimed and were accepted as heirs, along with the geopolitical triumph of his enemy, the economic and political liberalism "(José María Ripalda).
