Marxism: Philosophy and Economics (Counterpoint S.) - Tapa blanda

A clear explanation of the ideas of Marx and Engels and how they have often been subverted in practice. Sowell notes the simple failure by Marxists to have considered that capitalism could adjust, as well as the failure to realize that some of the areas capitalism has had difficulties with (e.g. balancing productivity and consumption) might also be a major problem for non-capitalist systems. He doesn't consider how Marxism (or socialism in general) could be salvaged. He closes with Marxism shattered but doesn't address how some of the problems that Marx and other socialists were struggling with might be met without Marxism (or socialism in general). Does he believe that what we have economically and politically is in the right direction? Perhaps one has to read his other books to get that answer
