An Essay on the Need to Revise Marx' and Engels' Historical Materialism
This book argues that apart from a number of ambiguities and inner tensions, Marx' and Engels' historical materialism suffers from a misconception of the nature and motive power of historical development and transformations on which their unwarranted confidence in the inevitability of the transition from capitalism to socialism and eventually classless communist society is based; and from a consequent failure to address the problems of accomplishing this transition - the desirability of which is not denied.
