DC people. This coming Tuesday evening I will be at
@busboysandpoets.bsky.social (14th and V) talking about my book with the great historian Tim Shenk. Would love to see you there.

Very much enjoyed @andrewhartman.bsky.social discussing Karl Marx In America with @devintoshea.bsky.social this evening at @leviathanbookstore.bsky.social in St. Louis. The joint was packed. I'm looking forward to starting the book.

😳

Amen. I wish.

Kazuo Shii, the chair of the Japanese Communist Party, quoted and introduced content from my book during a press conference today. 😂

😳

Red Scare, with a healthy dose of Islamophobia, incoming. But I trust New York voters to continue to see through that shit!

Is there a good biography of Cormac McCarthy?

C. Wright Mills argued Marx took nineteenth-century liberal ideals like freedom and liberty more seriously than liberals did, because Marx extended these ideals to “the lower depths of liberal society.” In the hands of Marx, liberal values could be made to work for all (or so though CWM.)

Reading Marx in the Corpse of Neoliberalism! - Left Voice Andrew Hartman’s new book, Karl Marx in America, raises questions we’ll need to grapple with as a class, here in the death of neoliberalism.

"Hartman is a really clear writer. He sums up Marx and debates about Marx in really clear ways. That’s perfect for post–Cold War generations ready for Marx."

Red Like Me - New Politics Alan Wald reviews Andrew Hartman's latest book Karl Marx in America, a comprehensive history of Marx's influence in the United States from his times to the present.

Alan Wald's at times critical, but ultimately positive review of my book is online at New Politics. I'm grateful that a historian I've been reading since grad school, someone I consider the dean of the intellectual history of the US left, took my book so seriously.

We speak with @andrewhartman.bsky.social about his latest book, just out, Karl Marx in America. Which chronicles Marx’s often overlooked writings about the USA, as well as the influence of Marxism in our politics over the last two centuries. soundcloud.com/user-8304426...

"In Karl Marx in America, this is achieved through a double exposure: A kind of presentation of the past in the present, a process of relearning what we have forgotten or perhaps never knew. After all, if we don’t first interpret the world, we sure as hell can’t change it."

"In Hartman’s scholarship we find confirmation that it is in Marxist critiques of Marxism that one can find the most thought-provoking avenues for possible explanations and guidance."

"What we need more than ever is a Marx for the age of Trump, a time when the brilliance of Marx’s understanding of capitalism is widely acknowledged even as the political solution of the Marxist project (working-class revolution) seems to be in question."
