what-is-marxism-cover.jpg Wellred is pleased to announce the publication of our new book, ‘What is Marxism?'.

Based on the highly successful series of study guides issued by Socialist Appeal a few years back, this book brings together key material and introductions on the three basic areas of Marxist theory: Dialectical Materialism, Historical Materialism and Marxist Economics. Each section of the book includes a clear and easy-to-understand introduction to the subject aimed both at readers new to Marxism as well as those seeking to refresh their understanding of Marxist theory.

A pocket sized book with just 175 pages, this work will provide a valuable alternative to the mass of unreadable rubbish being pushed out over recent years, aimed mainly at an academic readership, usually with the intention of undermining the basic methods of Marxism. Anyone who really wants to know about Marxist theory should get this new book now.

In addition to these introductions, the book includes extracts or full versions of key articles by authors such as Marx, Lenin and Trotsky. To assist study groups each section includes a series of questions and a reading list. A short glossary is also included at the end. The book also reproduces the 1983 document, written by Alan Woods and Rob Sewell, called ‘What is Marxism?' which ties the whole thing together and was issued to mark the centenary of Karl Marx's death.

With a cover price of £8.99, this book is available from www.wellred.marxist.com at a special price of just £4.99 plus postage and packing - but hurry, this deal is for a limited time only. Our online store has a wide choice of classic and new books including a greatly expanded pamphlet section and a second-hand book section. All the titles published by Wellred are available here, most at discount rates. We also have a limited supply of Ted Grant's Book The Unbroken Thread' available for purchase.

To order ‘What is Marxism?' or any of our other books go now to www.wellred.marxist.com
