In his book Marx
at the Margins: On Nationalism, Ethnicity, and Non-Western Societies
(Chicago University Press, 2016) Kevin B. Anderson clearly demonstrates that
Marx did not embrace a unilinear, economic determinist position on historical
development. Rather, especially in his later writings he demonstrated a nuanced
understanding of multilinear development including the possibility of transformation
to communism without going first through a capitalist stage of development. In
this blog post, I will engage with this highly important contribution to
Marxist scholarship.
