Democracy Against Capitalism: Renewing Historical Materialism

English

By (author): Ellen Meiksins Wood Michael Löwy

Translated by: Hope Heaney

Historian and political thinker Ellen Meiksins Wood argues that theories of postmodern fragmentation, difference, and contingency can barely accommodate the idea of capitalism, let alone subject it to critique. In this book she sets out to renew the critical programme of historical materialism by redefining its basic concepts and its theory of history in original and imaginative ways, using them to identify the specificity of capitalism as a system of social relations and political power. She goes on to explore the concept of democracy in both the ancient and modern world, examining its relation to capitalism, and raising questions about how democracy might go beyond the limits imposed on it.
