The Untold Story of the Cold War
Raya is a naïve but spirited girl growing up in Warsaw Pact Eastern Europe. As a young adult in the nineties, she buys a one-way ticket to the United States, eager to pursue opportunities away from Eastern Europe's disintegrating society. What Raya discovers, however, is that the black and white polarity in Cold War Europe was just an illusion, and that one hemisphere is by no means better than the one she left behind.

Marx once declared that philosophers have only interpreted the world, but the point is to change it. Demarcation and Demystification examines the ways in which a radical practice of philosophy is possible under the aegis of Marx's 11th thesis, arguing that philosophy's radically is, discovered by understanding that it can only ever interpret the world; that social transformation lies beyond the sphere of its operations. 'Demarcation and Demystification...

En el ajedrez, el objetivo es el derrumbe del rey. En el juego chino de wei, en cambio, se busca el cerco estratégico que evita el conflicto directo. No es exagerado aplicar ese paralelismo a los modos en que los Estados Unidos y China, respectivamente, se posicionan en el conflicto de hegemonías que hoy los tiene como protagonistas, de cuya resolución dependerá en buena medida el mundo que habitaremos en el siglo XXI.
A pesar de la centralidad...

In the years following 1968, a number of people involved in the most radical aspects of the French general strike felt the need to reflect on their experiences and to relate them to past revolutionary endeavors. This meant studying previous attempts and theories, namely those of the post-1917 German-Dutch and Italian Communist Left. The original essays included here were first written between 1969 and 1972 and circulated amongst left communist and...

-El método de la economía política", apenas un puñado de páginas contenidas en la famosa Einleitung [introducción] de 1857, es quizá el fragmento de la obra marxiana más controvertido. Tiene algo de especial, porque cuando sale a la luz (publicado muy imperfectamente por Kautsky en 1903), los marxistas, comenzando por Engels, ya habían decidido muchas cosas respecto a la cuestión del método de Marx y, en general, sobre su supuesta filosofía....

In this collection of essays, George Caffentzis argues that the same is true for the annals of twenty-first-century capitalism. Information technology, immaterial production, financialization, and globalization have been trumpeted as inaugurating...
