Metromarxism

Reviews / Votes

"People who equate Marxism with drabness have not been keeping up with their shopping (Prada) or their reading. Merrifield, a British writer who now lives in New York, is accessible, optimistic and even fun. The urban center, Merrifield argues, is the site of economic extremes and for that reason the most promising field for social change. A primer for the postindustrial "children of Marx and Coca-Cola"." -- The New York Times
"The strengths of Metromarxism are immediately apparent.Merrifield is a lively, engaging , and sometimes humorouswriter... He says enough about their ideas to pique ourinterest, concisely, and with the minimum of jargon. Hisjudgements are consistenly sound, and the selectedreferences useful... More taster than primer, this booknicely fills a niche." -- H-Net
