Unorthodox Marxism

A serious inquiry into social theory and social change will ask where we are, where we would like to be, and how we might move from here to there. In an extremely ambitious and provocative work, Albert and Hahnel face all of these questions and offer thoughtful and specific answers to them. Their study ranges widely, from consideration of innate and social factors in human personality, to critique of the idealizations of economic theory, to an inquiry into the core features of modern industrial society, an outline of the institutions of a libertarian socialist society, and discussion of revolutionary strategy. they have produced a penetrating work that merits careful attention and study.
