The Later Marxism

The Later Marxism is a book written by Thorstein Veblen, an American economist and sociologist. The book is a critical analysis of the Marxist theory and its later developments. Veblen examines the works of Marx and Engels, and the interpretations of their ideas by later Marxist thinkers, including Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin. He explores the evolution of Marxist theory from the original concept of class struggle to the development of a centralized state and the role of the party in Marxist ideology. Veblen also discusses the impact of Marxist theory on the social and economic systems of various countries, including Russia, China, and Cuba. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the Marxist theory and its influence on the world. It is a valuable resource for students of political science, economics, and sociology, as well as for anyone interested in the history of Marxist ideology.So, again, the Marxian doctrine of progressive proletarian distress, the so-called Verelendungstheorie, which stands pat on the romantic ground of the original Marxism, has fallen into abeyance, if not into disrepute, since the Darwinian conceptions have come to prevail.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
