[From Foreword by Prof. Leo Panitch]
Almost as soon as The State in Capitalist Society was published in 1969, it was recognized as one of the most important books in political science and sociology to have appeared since the Second World War.
It was even more widely celebrated as exemplary of what innovations the New Left was capable of bringing about in intellectual as well as political life.
Four decades later, and in the wake of a neoliberal era almost universally characterized in terms of 'the retreat of the state, the massive scale of state intervention today makes the republication of Ralph Miliband's classic study extremely timely. Its famous opening sentences on how we live in the shadow of the state and more than ever depend on its sanction and support could scarcely be more evocative of the current conjuncture. As always, what is happening in America draws most global attention. 'Barack Obama is putting the state in charge of the economy in the land of free enterprise' is the front-page headline that greets me as I sit down to write.
