Summary: Someone Will Take The $15 From You
Comment: I bought this book six years ago (having read it previously), and back in the good old days it cost me only $14.95. In an era where many books cost 30% more than they did last year -- and many left-wing books "cost more" than even love or money -- how's that happen? In this case it happens through the book coming from International Publishers, the CPUSA's publishing house. But whether you previously cared how such things happen or not, this is a must-own and actually an easy read for such material (high-grade Marxist social philosophy). Consisting of notes scribbled by Gramsci during his imprisonment until his death, *Selections From The Prison Notebooks* is not a handbook for Armageddon (as one suspiciously poorly-informed reviewer has it); it's a guide to all the things you don't like about modern life (that is, real life). Concerning the realities of life in the corporate world it's surprisingly up-to-date, and not intemperate in its criticism; non-leftists will find things they can take away from the book with a clear conscience, and leftists of any stripe can take anything away from the book with a clear conscience (it is not doctrinaire Stalinism, either). The scope is wide and the vision is good; long story short, a hunchback did something good other than score a touchdown for once.

Summary: A marxist must read!
Comment: This selection from Gramsci's "Prison Notebooks" contains his most important work written during his imprisonment from the italian fascist regime. It includes "the Intellectuals", texts on Education, Notes on Italian History, "The modern Prince", "State and Civil Society", "Americanism and Fordism" and notes on the philosophy of praxis, together with a very informative introduction on the italian Communist Movement in the first decades of the 20th century. In this collection Gramsci's theory of "hegemony" in class societies is fully presented, together with his intepretation of Marxism both in philosophy and in the analysis of the modern world.
Gramsci was on of the foremost leaders of the Italian Communist Party; in his trial in 1927 the fascist Public Prosecutor proclaimed that his brain must be stopped from functioning for twenty years. Fortunately, Gramsci proved to be a devoted fighter in prison and his Notebooks furthered -in many points- the analysis of Marx and Lenin of how capitalism functions and how it could be overthrown.

Summary: Great way to start the end of the world!!!
Comment: This truly is a wonderful work if you want to bring along the "inevitable" revolution just a bit more quickly. This marxist "how to manual" gives you a good idea on how to usher in an age of gulags, political purges, and mass murder not seen since the age of good old Joe Stalin. Go out and get your copy today for a gulag near you tomorrow!
