A great introduction to Marxian ideas for contemporary times

This book is a must for those interested in Marxian sociology but are unfamilar with the difficult concepts in Marxism. It provides information in a very readable fashion for students, workers, or any one else. Also, the ideas that are presented remain comtemporary to our times with questions on the fall of the USSR and other ex-"Communist" nations. Marxism is a real system, with a philosophy and worldview that must be understood before one can make that leap to Marxism.
