Early in his life, Marx had perceived the prevailing social system as being so deeply flawed as to be irreparable.

The essays in this 1981 book examine the problems that have arisen from attempts to implement Marx's critical theory. The centrality of the good society is hardly to be doubted in the context of that theory.
