ABSTRACT
More than one hundred years after his death, Marx’s writings continue to attract interest across the world.1 In spite of speculation that his readership would dwindle after the collapse of the Soviet bloc, Marx’s life and work have continued to attract the attention of social scientists, trade unionists, militants in anti-capitalist or environmental causes, and many others. I have been fortunate enough to witness this revival of interest in the university sector. Student demand for courses dealing with Marx’s work is often overwhelming, leading to over-subscribed classes and lively debates. Marxian scholarship has also been developing strongly, as is shown by the publication of several outstanding books across the social sciences, and the continuing success of those journals open to Marxian contributions.
