Karl Marx Is 'Back in Vogue,' Times Book Reviewer Enthuses: "New York Times book critic Dwight Garner on Wednesday enthused over a new biography of Friedrich Engels, cooing that Marxism is 'back in vogue' and adding that the founding communist comes across as a 'jovial man of outsize appetites' in Tristram Hunt’s new biography 'Marx’s General.'
Garner opened the review by insisting that decrying capitalism is now hip again:
Thanks to globalism’s discontents and the financial crisis that has spread across the planet, Karl Marx and his analysis of capitalism’s dark, wormy side are back in vogue."
