In his late writings Marx went beyond the boundaries of capital and class in the Western
European and North American contexts. Kevin Anderson carries out a systematic analysis of
Marx’s Ethnological Notebooks and related texts on Russia India Ireland Algeria Latin
America and ancient Rome. These texts some of them only now being published provide evidence
for a change of perspective away from Eurocentric worldviews or unilinear theories of
development. As Anderson shows the late Marx elaborated a truly global multilinear theory of
modern society and its revolutionary possibilities.
