This book presents the capitalist system as a function of the interaction of the three basic classes in the capitalist social formation. Through this, it shows how the corresponding conflicts and clashes of interests between those classes – industrial capitalists, wage labourers and landed proprietors – are unavoidable for understanding contemporary economic structures. Analysing these economic structures in relation to the forms of property ownership, as well as the typical processes of production connected with them, the author points out how Karl Marx’s theory of the capitalist social formation is closely connected with the emergence and existence of a national money market.

Le istanze autobiografiche sono un tratto caratteristico delle letterature scandinave a partire dai grandi autori del passato. Oggi, dopo le sperimentazioni moderniste della costruzione dell’io, si affermano opere narrative e poetiche che mettono in discussione il confine tra verità autobiografica e finzione, stimolando ulteriormente il dibattito sull’autobiografia che nel Nord Europa si sviluppa dagli anni Ottanta del Novecento ed è vivace, innovativo e articolato. I 24 autori del volume – studiosi italiani e scandinavi attivi in Italia o all’estero, ricercatori e scrittori scandinavi interessati all’Italia – illustrano la pluralità e gli usi delle scritture autobiografiche dal Cinquecento a oggi, illuminano zone di un territorio vasto, indagano testi poco studiati o tornano a interrogare i classici.
The Werewolf is a boldly drawn novel of the tyranny of love over men and women and the unending trials of strength between good and evil in human nature. Its main characters are of heroic stature yet deeply flawed, moving against the backdrop of Norwegian society from World War I to the 1960s. Over the novel broods the symbol of the Werewolf, which for Sandemose represents all the forces hostile to a full, free life--the thirst for power over others' lives, the lust to destroy what cannot be possessed or controlled. In their private encounters with the Werewolf, few can claim total victory. Sandemose's characters all bear the scars of lost battles.

The ‘Russian Question’ was an absolutely central problem for Marxism in the twentieth century. Numerous attempts were made to understand the nature of Soviet society. The present book tries to portray the development of these theoretical contributions since 1917 in a coherent, comprehensive appraisal. It aims to present the development of the Western Marxist critique of the Soviet Union across a rather long period in history (from 1917 to the present) and in a large region (Western Europe and North America). Within this demarcation of limits in time and space, an effort has been made to ensure completeness, by paying attention to all Marxist analyses which in some way significantly deviated from or added to the older theories.
