This volume, which initially appeared in 1970, constitutes a major set of statements by leading social scientists, historians, and philosophers to explain the continuing impact of Marxism 150 years after its emergence. The second edition is graced with a stunning new 50 page essay by the editor on the Asiatic mode of production-what has been called the Achilles heel of Marxism by some and its limiting case by others., Marxism: The Inner Dialogues covers a wide range of basic issues and problems arising from what has been said for, against, and about Marxism. This is a rich and systematic collection of writing by the foremost authorities on the subject in the world. The book provides the most inclusive and lasting analysis of Marxist thought available. Professor Curtis has confronted current problems in Marxist studies in the context of the classic concerns of western thought., In addition to new material, the book includes discussions of the meaning fulness of Marxist theory, Marxist doctrine as ideology, the unity or lack thereof in Marxism, claims to the true inheritance of Marx, alienation in Marxist thought, the ethical bases of Marxism, the sociological worth of Marxist analysis, the validity of the dialectic, the materialist conception of history, Marxism and economic analysis, political theory and the proletariat, socialism and state power, and Marxist doctrine and modernization., Marxism: The Inner Dialogues, with contributions from major figures such as George Lichtheim, Lewis Coser, T.B. Bottomore, Daniel Bell, Alasdair Maclntyre, Oskar Lange, Ralf Dahrendorf, Seymour Martin Lipset, and Robert Tucker, among others, provides a highly useful compendium that can be extremely valuable in courses in general political theory and the theories driving modern social movements.

Through an historical analysis of the theme of Oriental despotism, Michael Curtis reveals the complex positive and negative interaction between Europe and the Orient. The book also criticizes the misconception that the Orient was the constant victim of Western imperialism and the view that Westerners cannot comment objectively on Eastern and Muslim societies. The book views the European concept of Oriental despotism as based not on arbitrary prejudicial observation, but rather on perceptions of real processes and behavior in Eastern systems of government. Curtis considers how the concept developed and was expressed in the context of Western political thought and intellectual history, and of the changing realities in the Middle East and India. The book includes discussion of the observations of Western travelers in Muslim countries and analysis of the reflections of seven major thinkers: Montesquieu, Edmund Burke, Tocqueville, James and John Stuart Mill, Karl Marx, and Max Weber
