Marx's Capital
An Illustrated Introduction David Smith, illustrated by Phil Evans [Marxs Capital: An Illustrated Introduction is] valuable and in some respects more so than all the interpretations and popularizations I have read. C.L.R. James [This illustrated introduction] is very, very good, a brilliant exposition and a really creative relationship between image and explanation. John Berger

Karl Marx did not write Capital for the bookshelves of economists and philosophers. Capital is economics for working people, from their viewpoint and history. David Smith and Phil Evans explode the myth of difficulty haunting Capital. David Smith is a sociologist whose publications include books on Orwell and the changing structure of the working class. Phil Evans is a longtime political cartoonist based in England. He has illustrated Understanding Economics, among many other books.
Prelude to Revolution
France in May 1968 Daniel Singer Daniel Singer is the lefts most brilliant arsonist. He sets ablaze whole forests of desiccated cliches about the end of history and the triumph of the market in order to light the way forward for the next generation of radical thinkers and activists.Mike Davis Prelude to Revolution is an indispensable study of May 1968. Singer presents a gripping narrative of the movements development and a careful analysis of its political content, and concludes by considering what lessons those interested in radical change should draw. Daniel Singer was a socialist writer and journalist best known for his articles for the Nation and the Economist, serving for decades as a European correspondent for each magazine.
Criticism of Earth
On Marxism and Theology IV Roland Boer Criticism of Earth thoroughly reassesses Marx and Engelss engagement with theology, analyzing their collected works for discussions of spiritual matters and the persistence of biblical allusions.

Marxs Temporalities
Massimiliano Tomba This study provides a critical analysis of Marxs political and theoretical development. By integrating the paradigm of the spatialization of time with that of the temporalization of space, Tomba shows that an adequate historiographical paradigm for capitalism must consider the plurality of temporal layers that come into conflict in modernity.
Concepts
A Critical Approach Andy Blunden
Andy Blunden presents an interdisciplinary review of theories of concepts of interest to cognitive psychology, analytic philosophy, linguistics, and the history of science. Problems within these disciplines establishing reductive theories of the conceptual have led some to abandon concepts altogether in favor of interactionist or narrowly pragmatic approaches. Blunden responds with an account of the development of the theory of concepts from Descartes through Hegelwith special focus on the latters critical appropriation by early critical social scienceculminating in the cultural psychology of Lev Vygotsky. He then proposes an approach to concepts which draws on activity theory, according to which concepts are equally subjective and objective: both units of consciousness and of the cultural formation of which ones consciousness is part. This continues the authors earlier work in An Interdisciplinary Theory of Activity (Haymarket, 2011). Andy Blunden is an independent scholar in Melbourne, Australia. He works with the Independent Social Research Network and the Melbourne School of Continental Philosophy. His Interdisciplinary Theory of Activity was published by Haymarket in 2011.
Theorizing Globalization
A Critique of the Mediatization of Social Theory Marko Ampuja Ampuja critically examines the works of key globalization theorists to demonstrate their excessive fascination with recent changes in media and communications technology.
