Allan Kulikoff

Abraham Lincoln and Karl Marx in Dialogue

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Abraham Lincoln and Karl Marx might appear strange bedfellows, the president and the intellectual revolutionary. Yet they shared an abiding interest in labor, labor relations, and slavery. This volume puts the two of them in dialogue, using linked, short passages from their writings, and thereby uncovers their agreements and disagreements about this fundamental issue.
