Lenin Reloaded
DIVAt a time when few people seriously consider alternatives to global capitalism, this work argues that Lenin demonstrates the inseparability of truth and partisanship (the taking of sides), an argument liberal leftists must hear now./div
The Rise and Fall of Communist Parties in France and Italy
This book analyzes the dynamics through which the two major communist parties of the capitalist world—which in the 1970s had great influence on their respective national political contexts since the 1980s are increasing their marginality and, although in different forms and with different timeframes are unable to stem the decline of their political and cultural influences on the working classes.

Modernité en transit - Modernity in transit
L’émergence de la Condition Postmoderne, il y a quelque 30 ans, ne marqua pas la fin de la modernité. Bien au contraire, les débats sur la modernité continuent, en parallèle avec ceux sur la question postmoderne. Les deux débats s’enchevêtrent, en fait, ce qui ne fait que complexifier la question de la modernité. S’y ajoute, depuis quelque temps, la problématique de la globalisation dont les liens avec la modernité sont à élucider. De fait, historiquement nous vivons dans les conséquences de la modernité, qu’il s’agisse de ses acquis positifs ou de ses ratés et risques. Nous sommes ses puînés et avons de la sorte à assumer les conditions de cette nouvelle situatio...
Historical-Critical Dictionary of Marxism
The Historical-Critical Dictionary of Marxism (HCDM) is a comprehensive Marxist lexicon, which in the 9 German-language volumes concluded so far has involved over 800 scholars from around the globe. Conceived by philosopher Wolfgang Fritz Haug in 1983, the first volume of the ongoing lexicon project was published in 1994. This first English-language selection introduces readers to the HCDM’s wide range of terms: besides Marxist concepts, approached from a plural standpoint and stressing feminist, ecological, and internationalist perspectives, it boasts entries on the histories of social movements, theoretical schools, as well as cultural, political, philosophical, and aesthetic debates. Contributors are: Samir Amin, Jan Otto Andersson, Konstantin Baehrens, Lutz-Dieter Behrendt, Mario Candeias, Robert Cohen, Alex Demirović, Klaus Dörre, William W. Hansen, Wolfgang Fritz Haug, Frigga Haug, Peter Jehle, Juha Koivisto, Wolfgang Küttler, Morus Markard, Eleonore von Oertzen, Christof Ohm, Rinse Reeling Brouwer, Jan Rehmann, Thomas Sablowski, Peter Schyga, Victor Strazzeri, Peter D. Thomas, André Tosel, Michael Vester, Lise Vogel, and Victor Wallis.
Marx and Critical Theory
Marx and Critical Theory examines Marx’s main philosophical, political and social theoretical ideas. Its purpose is twofold: making sense of the concepts and theses of Marx, and showing that they remain relevant for contemporary critical theory. Part One focuses on Marx’s conception of philosophy. Part Two analyses the Marxian primacy of the practical. Part Three is devoted to Capital and the critique of political economy. This book will be useful for those who want to deepen their understanding of Marx’s main ideas, as well as for those who want to clarify what is at stake in contemporary debates about the ways in which contemporary critical theory could or should refer to Marx.
What is so Austrian about Austrian Economics?
The volume gathers together papers presented at the second biennial Wirth conference on Austrian economics, held in October 2008 when the crisis of Fall 2008 was still new and shocking. This coincidence of timing makes policy issues and crisis management a kind of leitmotif of the volume.
Exploring Marx's Capital
Offers a fresh interpretation of Marx's great work. This book shows how the novelty and lasting interest of Marx's theory arises from the fact that, as against the project of a 'pure' economics, it is formulated in concepts that have simultaneously an economic and a political aspect, neither of these being separable from the other.
Primitive Communism Is Not What It Used to Be
When was male domination established in human societies, and why did it take hold? How does humanity's most remote past inform today's feminist struggle? This new, updated edition of Primitive Communism Is Not What It Used to Be – available for the first time in English translation – represents a timely contribution to the debate, drawing on the accumulated knowledge of ethnology and archaeology. While noting the many outdated aspects of Morgan and Engels' seminal work, this vast synthesis, guided by a rigorous materialist approach, renews Marxist analysis on a theme that is at once remote and pressingly topical.
