Alan Swingewood traces the development of Marxist theory from its nineteenth-century origins through its complex engagement with modern social science, illustrating how Marx's core concepts—alienation, class struggle, and historical materialism—continue to animate debates in sociology, political economy, and critical theory. Written with academic precision yet accessible clarity, the text argues that Marx's framework remains indispensable for understanding the structural contradictions of capitalist society. Swingewood situates Marx in dialogue with major thinkers such as Weber, Durkheim, and the Frankfurt School, demonstrating both the tensions and the productive intersections between Marxist and non-Marxist traditions. The result is an authoritative and intellectually stimulating guide for students and scholars seeking to understand the foundations and ongoing influence of Marxist social theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810611409115,"sku":"2026200006671-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8e578a16-e346-4487-acc0-0970a16f197e.png?v=1779805939","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006671-secondhand-marx-and-modern-social-theory","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
