Review
'In this important and informative book, dense theories are rendered understandable, making it highly accessible to a wide readership. In many ways, this text does so much – from couching theories historically to debunking often heard arguments against Marxism. The chapter on environmental destruction strongly connects the politics of neo-liberalism to the chilling reshaping of the natural world. This volume will be extremely useful to graduate and undergraduate students in a variety of disciplines, and will likely be considered a seminal text in fields such as education, sociology, anthropology, and political science.'
