A comprehensive history of the development of Marxist theory and the parameters of 21st-century politics

In this pithy and panoramic work—both stimulating for the specialist and the accessible to the general reader—one of the world's leading social theorists, Göran Therborn, traces the trajectory of Marxism in the twentieth century and anticipates its legacy for radical thought in the twenty-first.
“Impressive … with a finely tuned style of analysis and judgment.”
Guardian

“One could not hope for a better guide for the arduous journey still to come.”
Mediations

“Regular readers of the New Left Review will find in this book many of the traits associated with that journal: a broad—sometimes Olympian—sweep; a level-headed combination of radical critique and sober analysis; a dialectical conception of society as a ‘totality,’ irreducible to this or that social-scientific discipline.”
—Ian Cummins, Monash University, Melbourne
Göran Therborn holds the Chair of Sociology at the University of Cambridge, and is editor and author of Inequalities of the World, Asia and Europe in Globalization, Between Sex and Power and From Marxism to Post Marxism?
