read to dd over the course of a few month for our history studies. it's fascinating to think that Karl Marx and Engels postulated an economic theory when the industrial revolution was soo young and untried.
this author definitely has a point of view that marxism is doomed to failure, but his research/ background information made our studies that much richer.

Utterly incompetent and revisionist.
