Life

Jonathan Sperber studied history at Cornell University and with Leonard Krieger at the University of Chicago . He received his PhD in 1980. Since 1984 he has been teaching and researching at the University of Missouri . He received a professorship in 2003.

His book on Karl Marx was also published in German in 2013 at the same time. Thomas Steinfeld judged Sperber's biography: “Sperber's biography, as detailed and factual as it may appear, has a polemical point. It is opposed to any attempt to learn something for the present from Marx's writings. ”In addition, the biography lacks“ any substantive discussion of economic theory ”, criticized Steinfeld. "The central categories of Marxist teaching [...] are to be found in this biography."
