Ebook: Beyond post-socialism : dialogues with the far-left

The current return of interest in socialism and the critique of capitalism make a reengagement with far-left socialist currents of significant interest. Beyond Post-Socialism considers the contemporary situation and prospects of socialism through a series of studies of important Left thinkers including Cornelius Castoriadis, Hardt and Negri, Badiou, Debord, and Wallerstein; through currents such as anarchism and post-Marxism; and through pressing issues like globalization and post-modern thought.
