Henry Bamford Parkes systematically dissects the foundations of Marxist doctrine — its economic assumptions, historical determinism, and revolutionary prescriptions — exposing the contradictions and failures that undermined its promise. Written with clarity and conviction, the work argues that Marxism, far from being a scientific guide to social progress, was a secular religion riddled with fatal internal inconsistencies. Parkes illustrates how the ideology collapsed under the weight of practical reality, drawing on historical evidence from Soviet Russia and beyond. A compelling and authoritative examination, this title remains an essential read for students of political thought, economics, and twentieth-century history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887996481755,"sku":"2026200009353-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d203172c-95a5-4cdd-b7ba-be4c015fe800.png?v=1781751926","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009353-secondhand-marxism-an-autopsy","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
