Chattopadhyay convincingly shows that Marx's conception of socialism bears little resemblance to the single-party states often termed socialist.

Cet auteur explore en profondeur la critique de l'économie politique de Marx, s'appuyant explicitement sur les œuvres originales du penseur. Ses recherches portent également sur l'économie politique du développement, la question agraire en Inde et l'analyse de l'(ex)économie soviétique à travers le prisme du Capital de Marx et des théories de l'accumulation du capital. En tant qu'enseignant universitaire, il se concentre sur les écrits de Marx et les méthodes quantitatives, proposant des cours qui plongent dans ces sujets complexes. Son implication dans des projets académiques internationaux souligne sa contribution significative à l'étude marxiste.

This book aims to restore Marx’s original emancipatory idea of socialism, conceived as an association of free individuals centered on working people’s self- emancipation after the demise of capitalism. Marxist scholar Paresh Chattopadhyay argues that, Marx’s (and Engels’s) ideas have been deliberately warped with misinterpretation not only by those who resent these ideas but more consequentially by those who have come to power under the banner of Marx, calling themselves communists. This book challenges those who have inaccurately revised Marx’s ideas justify their own pursuit of political power.
The examination delves into Marx's vision for a post-capitalist society, focusing on his conceptualization of socialism. Through a detailed analysis of his texts, the book uncovers the principles and structures Marx proposed for an equitable society. It highlights the transformative potential of socialism as envisioned by Marx, providing insights into his critique of capitalism and his aspirations for a more just and communal way of living.
