| Summary |
The book is a critique of the capitalist world, including both the injustices it inflicts and the acts of resistance it provokes, which end up reproducing it. The book is also a critique of the ideas about this world, especially some of the ideas which are considered to be progressive.

This book presents what it considers to be the most adequate form of critique: the Marxi. |
