Harry Cleaver's article
“Karl Marx: Economist
or Revolutionary?” was
first presented in 1983 when it
brought the need for a critical
re-examination of Marx’s works
to a wider audience than ever before.
As a landmark in the move to return
to Marx’s own writings as
opposed to his interpreters, we
have reproduced this article on
Marx Myths and Legends as it was
published in 1986.
