The study explores the deep connections between Hegel's philosophy and Marx's social theory, arguing that Hegelian logic significantly influenced Marx's ideas, including surplus value and communism. MacGregor presents a compelling analysis of Hegel's "Philosophy of Right," highlighting its relevance to modern capitalist society and its impact on Lenin. The book emphasizes the importance of dialectical logic as social logic and reveals Hegel's concept of poverty as a crucial link to classical liberal theory, suggesting that contemporary Marxism may overlook vital insights from Hegel.
