Förlagets beskrivning
This collection covers a wide range of theoretical problems of interest to
social scientists and political activists. Opening with an account of his
awakening to Marxism, Wright goes on to review its central principles as a
social science, paying particular heed to feminist concepts and the meaning of
inequality. He concludes by exploring possible futures under capitalism and
socialism. The book opens with an autobiographical essay exploring the challenges and
benefits of being a Marxist scholar in the present era. Following this is a
discussion of various issues in class analysis, with particular attention being
paid to two overarching themes: class and inequality, and the relationship
between class and power. The second section of the book engages the problem of socialism as a
possible future to capitalism. Wright attempts to clarify the conceptual status
of socialism, and disucsses why certain reforms such as basic income grants may
ultimately require the introduction of some form of socialism for their full
realization. The book concludes by examining the general problem of Marxism as a
tradition of radical social theory. Three issues in particular are discussed:
the central principles of "Analytical Marxixm" as a strategy for reconstructing
Marxism as a social scientific theory; the relationship between Marxism and
feminism as emancipatory social theories; and the prospects for Marxism in the
aftermath of the collapse of communist regimes. After opening with an account of the author's awakening to Marxism, this
book goes on to review its central principles as a social science, paying
particular heed to feminist concepts and the meaning of inequality. It
concludes by exploring possible futures under capitalism and socialism.
