"Only since World War II have we realized that we are in the midst of an unfinished revolution. We see parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America entering the initial or intermediate states of the Industrial Revolution, and falling, just as Western European society did during the first half of the nineteenth century, under the spell of a doctrine which promises not only a brave new world, but a seemingly rational and "natural" way of achieving it. The doctrine is, of course, Marxism -- the subject of this brilliant, thorough, and totally unpedantic inquiry into one of the most paradoxical ideologies in political history."
