Class War Conservatism: And Other Essays Summary

Class War Conservatism: And Other Essays by Ralph Miliband

In this timely reissue of this essential collection, Ralph Miliband sets out the domain of the struggle. From conflicts within the state to the world capitalist system, Miliband's acute insight and clarity of argument makes this a key text in postwar socialist thought. The collection includes essential essays, such as in-depth engagements with the works of Marx, Bahro and Polantzas. This new edition is a bold reminder of the debate concerning the future direction of Britain, what it has lost and what is possible in the future.

Class War Conservatism: And Other Essays Reviews

A veritable giant of a man who had an almost unique capacity to understand - and explain - the world in which we live. Tony Benn An inspiring teacher of politics and an internationally renowned figure on the British Left, Daily Telegraph, A Miliband speech was always a treat; alternately sarcastic and scholarly, witty and vicious. Tariq Ali; A beacon on the international Left. He epitomized what it meant to be a creative and independent socialist intellectual, and he provided consistent leadership in defining the issues for critical engagement.- Leo Panitch; His whole effort is to render the language of socialism in terms of the needs of the here and now. - Raphael Samuel; [Miliband's] perspective-simultaneously hopeful and clear-eyed, fiercely principled but tethered to reality-made the British socialist the most impressive Marxist of his generation. - Shawn Gude, In These Times
