A useful tip

Hi again, this week I’ll post about a career – related web site. As it’s been said in my profile, I’m studying sociology so the present web site that I’ll show you shows one of the founders of the discipline, theoretically speaking and his vision about the nineteenth century industrial society was one of the main ways of understanding social behavior, social history and society as a totality. This character is no one else but Karl Marx.

Well, on the entire web there are too many sites that show Marx's theories condensed in handbooks, letters, etc. But there is one that I prefer over the others, Marxists.org, I think this is one of the more complete sites about Marx's theory, first and foremost because it contains the most of his work digitalized so you may download any document that you want for free, besides the site not only have information about Marx but also have information and documents from many Marxist authors like Marcuse, Gramsci, Lenin, Hanecker, etc.

I found the site when I had to read a lot about Marxist theory in some courses of my career and I didn’t have money to spend on photocopies, that, added to my internet addiction led me to this site and I don’t regret it.

Now I don’t visit it very often, because I’m in a new stage of my career, in which I do more practical courses than theoretical ones, so I have kept away from this site, but I recommend it every time I can.

Only one bad thing I can say about the site… its loading time. The site is very heavy, so when I browse on slow-connections PCs it takes a long time to get to see the entire site, and when you are on an internet center where time is money, it’s very annoying.

Anyway, if you are interested on learning somethin about Marx's theory and marxists in general, just click on the picture and "voila".

see you next week
