(2015) Philosophy of justice, Dordrecht, Springer.
Karl Marx describes capitalist societies as characterized by alienation, exploitation and false consciousness. His ambition is, however, not to tell the workers how they ought to act, but to describe in social scientific fashion what force the labour movement actually is. Marx did not want to develop an ideal for reality to adhere to. However, I shall claim, that is exactly what he did.
