In this, his last work, Maurice Cornforth undertakes a major reassessment of the legacy of 'classical Marxism', where necessary subjecting the 'Marxist classics' themselves to critical examination, distancing himself from the view held by some Marxists that these works contain solutions to all problems, if we only know how to find and apply them.
 
Writing against the background of, and in many respects as a response to, over sixty years of Marxist practice in the Soviet Union, as well as of the ever-growing debate on Marxist theory and its application in the West, he stressed the importance of subjecting Marxism to constant scrutiny and challenge if it is not to be reduced to orthodoxy and dogma.
