Overview

I feel like I'm one of those people that you talk about whose lives have been adventures in Marxism. I'm fifty years old, and since I spent my life as a construction worker raising a family, I'm at this stage still in college ... Your book was inspiring to me because it reminded me why I made the sacrifices I did to get an education ... the sheer joy of learning about ideas and the hope that education can make some kind of difference. He great thing about your approach to Marx is that you show that theory and the world of ideas can be exciting and intellectually rich, but also relevant to all workers, blue collar or otherwise.-Personal letter to the Author from Scott Smith, construction worker and student (Pittsburgh)

[Marshall Berman] represents what is best in Marxist tradition, which still has a chance of surviving the century of its catastrophic victories. --Christopher Hitchens Adventures in Marxism is a fine collection, a lovely addition to anybody's bookshelf. Marshall Berman is one of our liveliest and most generous interpreters of Marx. Vagabond and eclectic, to be sure, but always honest and brimming with ideas and romance. He can help us learn to create ourselves while we try to change the world. -- The Nation I'd put Berman's slim, thoughtful book of essays into an enquiring hand to feel that Marx the thinker's future was assured. -- London Review of Books
