A few people will be celebrating on May 5, 2018, the 200th birthday of Karl Marx, but more—if they’re paying attention at all—will be mourning. Decrees by acolytes of his, particularly Josef Stalin and Mao Zedong, resulted in tens of millions of deaths. Students stuck with professors who still venerate Marx should read William Dennison’s Karl Marx (2017), part of P&R’s Great Thinkers series that now also has volumes on Thomas Aquinas and Jacques Derrida.
