Reviews

'A superb little book in a most improbable format...I recommend it unreservedly for anyone who wants the rudiments of Marx from an engaging mentor...Rius on Marx is magnificent. He shows that pictures can amplify ideas, and that simplicity need not forgo subtlety.' New York Times Book Review
