Britain’s leading radical updates his attack on the failures of the political centre ground. In this fully updated edition of his coruscating polemic, Tariq Ali shows how, since 1989, politics has become a contest to see who can best serve the needs of the market. In this urgent and wide-ranging case for the prosecution, Ali looks at the people and the events that have informed this moment across the world. This reaches its logical conclusion with the presidency of Donald Trump, the success of En Marche in France and the dominance of Merkel's Germany through Europe. But are we starting to see cracks within the fabric of the extreme centre? In a series of new chapters Ali suggests that there is room for hope. He finds promise in developments in Latin America and at the edges of Europe. Emerging parties across Europe, Greece and Spain, formed out of the 2008 crisis, are offering new hope for democracy. In the UK, the rise of Jeremy Corbyn indicates that the hegemony of the centre may be weaker than imagined.

On the centenary of the Russian Revolution, Tariq Ali paints an illuminating portrait of Lenin At the end of his life, Lenin wrote ‘we didn’t know everything’, acknowledging the dilemmas he faced on the road to revolution in 1917 and beyond. In this unusual exploration of the crises that Lenin overcame, the decisions he made, and actions that he took, Tariq Ali reveals an insightful political portrait of this most exemplary leader. From the first stirrings of revolutionary fervour, Lenin sought...
The story of a family whose life mirrors the rise and fall of the Soviet Union With the fall of Communism, East German dissident Vlady Meyer’s life begins to fall apart. As the German nation unifies, his wife splits up with him. He loses his university job now that the times have turned against his Marxist views.

A prescient dissection of Obama’s overseas escalation and domestic retreat, fully updated. Written early in 2010 and initially published in September 2010, The Obama Syndrome predicted the Obama administration’s historic midterm defeat. But unlike myriad commentators who have since pinned responsibility for that Democratic Party collapse on the “reform” president’s lack of firm resolve, Ali’s critique located the problem in Obama’s notion of reform itself. Barack Obama campaigned for the...

Одно из самых остроумных, тонких и ироничных произведений Станислава Лема, в котором равно проявились его таланты писателя, философа и литературного критика. Сборник безупречно созданных рецензий на вымышленные произведения никогда не существовавших авторов: прозаиков, ученых и философов. Лем осознанно избрал такую необычную форму, позволившую ему вместить в эту маленькую книжку настоящую энциклопедию литературных направлений и жанров, философских концепций и научных идей.
Это поэтическое эссе одной из главных фигур современной интеллектуальной мысли Джорджо Агамбена (род. 1942). Демонстрируя своему читателю кабинеты, в которых ему приходилось работать, итальянский философ пытается выстроить свой автопортрет через находившиеся там вещи. Для Агамбена рассуждать о себе оказывается возможным только говоря о других: поэтах, философах, художниках, друзьях, которые создали его воспоминания и вдохновили его на письмо. Поэтому автопортрет философа оказывается неразрывно...
