“In the Name of Marx” by Murzban Jal explores Marx’s original ideas on the Asiatic Mode of Production and Multi-linear historicism. Challenging the concept of “Indian feudalism,” Jal advocates for “direct socialism” and examines Marx’s theory of alienation in contemporary society, combining it with Freud’s theories of neurosis and psychosis. This critical analysis of late capitalism and its impact on the human psyche is essential reading for anyone interested in Marxist theory and its relevance today. ISBN: 9789350025390
