What are the best contemporary defences of liberalism against Marxist critiques?

At least in what I've studied, post Rawls there seems to be a basic acceptance of at least a modest liberal framework in contemporary analytic political theory, even from philosophers pretty far to the left (e.g. Otsuka or even Cohen).

I'm looking for the best contemporary works/philosophers that defend this assumption against the more traditional Marxist critiques that wholly reject that framework (others welcome too). Thanks!

A lot of the contemporary defense of post-Rawls liberalism centers around Marx’s critique of justice. You may want to look into Allen Buchanan’s *Marx and Justice: The Radical Critique of Liberalism*, as well as Will Kymlicka’s *Liberalism, Community, and Culture*, which defends liberalism against both communitarian critiques and Marxian critiques (see especially chapter 6 on “Marxism and the Critique of Justice”). Another book worth reading is Steven Lukes’ excellent *Marxism and Morality*, which analyzes and assesses Marx’s critiques of morality and *Recht*.
