About the Author
Leo Panitch is the Canada research chair of comparative political economy at York University. He is the coauthor of Global Capitalism and American Empire. He lives in Toronto, Ontario.
Product Description Intellectual and engaging, this collection of political essays examines the failures of socialism in the 20th century with candor, vigorously exploring the nature of global capitalism and offering a vision of a reinvigorated socialism that ambitiously counters weakening pessimism. An outspoken perspective on modern political systems, this book revitalizes socialist thought and rethinks the socialist practice toward a realistic utopia.
"A wonderful writer who bridges the disjuncture between theory and political praxis. This is an important book in both scholarly and political terms." John C. Berg, professor, Suffolk University
"Panitch's work is consistently characterized by intelligence, rigor, and commitment. A highly original contribution." David Abraham, professor, University of Miami
"The best thing I've read on the revolution/reform issue." John Manley, professor, Stanford University
