Considerations on Western Marxism

Solid, ish, clear, but also mired in its own time-period in ways that Anderson himself recognized when he returned to the text. It's useful as something to cite if you want to write about these people; it's useful as a way to think about why intelligent people would want to hold on to Marx despite the use made of him by 'Marxists;' it's not at all useful if you want to understand the thought of the people Anderson discusses, since the clarity comes at the price of accuracy.
