Christopher Benson at Bensonian.org, has [unveiled his introductory post](http://bensonian.org/2011/03/28/whos-afraid-of-karl-marx-a-blog-discussion-on-why-marx-was-right/?ref=mereorthodoxy.com) on the blog tour of Terry Eagleton’s newest book, [*Why Marx Was Right*](http://www.amazon.com/Why-Marx-Right-Terry-Eagleton/dp/0300169434/ref=sr%5F1%5F1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1301340096&sr=8-1&ref=mereorthodoxy.com). [Organized by Yale University Press](http://yalepress.typepad.com/yalepresslog/2011/03/coming-march-28-why-marx-was-right-blog-discussion.html?ref=mereorthodoxy.com), Christopher’s site will have four different reactions each to a different chapter of Eagleton’s book. Contributors include Jonathan Fitzgerald, Jake Meador, Albert Lee, and myself.

[Spirited engagement will undoubtedly ensue](http://bensonian.org/2011/03/28/whos-afraid-of-karl-marx-a-blog-discussion-on-why-marx-was-right/?ref=mereorthodoxy.com)[](https://storage.ghost.io/c/7b/0b/7b0bd699-d78f-4472-8d29-233bd333f048/content/images/2026/04/ghost-upload-1776718788026-414972-Why-Marx-Was-Right-2.jpeg?ref=mereorthodoxy.com) and I heartily point the thoughtful readers of Mere Orthodoxy to determine for themselves whether Marx was indeed right.
