Recommended: Ernest Mandel's "From class society to Communism"

Just finished Ernest Mandel's 1977 book From class society to Communism: an introduction to Marxism last night.

No time do full review at the moment, but it's a wonderfully clear introduction that bears a refresher reading again every so often to keep the big picture of scientific socialism in mind.

It's out of print.

Here is the PDF:
