Brown %J Libertarian Papers %D 2011 %I Ludwig von Mises Institute %X This article is a critical review of Terry EagletonĄ¯s latest publication, Why Marx Was Right (2011). Eagleton, one of the more celebrated Marxist literary critics in academia, presents his readers with a manifesto of Marxian individualism for the budding theoreticians of market socialism. This book represents EagletonĄ¯s latest sally from the cloisters of stuffy English departments into the realms of economic theory. I cover many of the bookĄ¯s most important talking points, debate his primary theses with ample counterpoints, and probe EagletonĄ¯s vision of the socialist future from an Austrian angle to see where the author succeeds and falls short of his mark. %K libertarianism %K terry eagleton %U http://libertarianpapers.org/2011/11-brown-review-of-why-marx-was-right/
