Marx's Associated Mode of Production

This book aims to restore Marxs original emancipatory idea of socialism, conceived as an association of free individuals centered on working peoples self- emancipation after the demise of capitalism. Marxist scholar Paresh Chattopadhyay argues that, Marxs (and Engelss) ideas have been deliberately warped with misinterpretation not only by those who resent these ideas but more consequentially by those who have come to power under the banner of Marx, calling themselves communists. This book challenges those who have inaccurately revised Marxs ideas justify their own pursuit of political power.
