Marx has returned but which Marx? Recent biographies have proclaimed him to be an emphatically nineteenth - century figure but in this book Mike Davis's first directly about Marx and Marxism a thinker comes to light who speaks to the present as much as the past. In a series of searching propulsive essays Davis the bestselling author of City of Quartz and recipient of a Mac Arthur Fellowship explores Marx's inquiries into two key questions of our time: Who can lead a revolutionary transformation of society? And what is the cause and solution of the planetary environmental crisis? Davis consults a vast archive of labor history to illuminate new aspects of Marx's theoretical texts and political journalism. He offers a lost Marx whose analyses of historical agency nationalism and the middle landscape of class struggle are crucial to the renewal of revolutionary thought in our darkening age. Davis presents a critique of the current fetishism of the anthropocene which suppresses the links between the global employment crisis and capitalism's failure to ensure human survival in a more extreme climate. In a finale Old Gods New Enigmas looks backward to the great forgotten debates on alternative socialist urbanism (1880 1934) to find the conceptual keys to a universal high quality of life in a sustainable environment.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Old Gods New Enigmas Marx's Lost Theory\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Davis Mike\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Verso Books\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781788732178\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 320 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 10\/6\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Marxism \u0026amp; Communism","brand":"Davis Mike","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49624060068145,"sku":"IN-G-9781788732178","price":17.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781788732178.jpg?v=1724769935","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781788732178-old-gods-new-enigmas-marxs-lost-theory","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
