Binding condition: Intact.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rigorous work of political philosophy and historical analysis, Marxism Past and Present by R.N. Carew Hunt critically examines the origins, development, and ongoing relevance of Marxist ideology from its nineteenth-century roots through to the mid-twentieth century. Drawing on his authoritative expertise as the author of The Theory and Practice of Communism, Hunt argues with scholarly precision that Marxism must be understood both as a theoretical doctrine and as a living political force that shaped the modern world. The book presents a clear-eyed assessment of Marx's core ideas — dialectical materialism, historical determinism, and class struggle — while tracing how those ideas were interpreted, distorted, and applied by subsequent communist movements. Written with measured authority and analytical clarity, it serves as an essential guide for anyone seeking to understand the philosophical underpinnings and real-world consequences of one of the twentieth century's most influential ideologies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888014799067,"sku":"2026200009643-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/68401286-582b-4227-b9fc-7647345eabfd.png?v=1781752816","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009643-secondhand-marxism-past-and-present","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
