About this listen

Marxism is a term that many people freely use, but few seem to grasp its implications. Sowell's book is the antidote to this problem. He writes in a fluid and easy-to-follow manner, leading the listener through the Marxian scheme of ideas. Along the way, he shatters some existing interpretations of Marx-interpretations that have developed through repetition rather than through scholarship.

Clarity

Clearly and concisely differentiates true Marxian theory from the neo-Marxist or quasi-Marxist pretenders that came after him. This book is an excellent tool for deciphering and clarifying the worldview that Marxists hold and making it understandable to those who are so frustrated with Marxists simply because they can't possibly fathom how they reached the ridiculous conclusions that they have about the way the world does, or ought, to work.

modern "intellectuals" who "identify as Marxist" should listen to this.

as usual Thomas Sowell's writing is well-researched and seemimgly very thorough. The marrator was excellent. The topic is, understandably, somewhat challenging, due to the bomplex nature of human behavior and the depth/volume of the material that is addressed. Nonetheless it is well-worth one's time and mental energy.

A Must Read

Everyone should read this, especially if they don't care to read the actual works by Marx like "Capitol". In the typical Sowell fashion, this is a thorough examination and critique of Marx.

incredible insights

The last few chapters are my absolute favorite. This book is amazing but I think I may need to read (instead of just listen to) the book to get a better grasp and more fully understand everything contained herein.

Highly listenable, dated but still useful

I've listened to this 3x, I still enjoy it. Marx is difficult, this is easy
