Fromm was a member of the influential group of German thinkers, the Frankfurt School that included Adorno, Benjamin and Marcuse.
Marx's Concept of Man presents Fromm's provocative view of Marx. It stresses his humanist philosophy and challenges both Soviet distortion and Western ignorance of Marx's basic thinking.
The book includes a complete translation of Marx's Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts - the early text that transformed the interpretation of Marx.
