The author, himself the scion of a princely family, has inherited a clear perspective of the main thoroughfares of history, and a great knowledge of its byways. He approaches his subject with a light touch, even at times with irreverence~for, in his own words~These secrets of the Gotha, whispered to me by the ghosts of long~dead chamberlains, evoke the spirit of an age whose frivolities alone have survived. The inheritance of the duchies of Schleswig or Holstein no longer vexes the world at large; but the fate of the unfortunate Electress of Hanover, shut up for thirty years by her husband for having shown too much enthusiasm for the handsome Koenigsmark, still moves us; and the madness of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, the indecorous loves of Queen Isabella of Spain, or the eccentricities of Caroline, Princess of Wales, are more interesting today than the War of the Roses, the continence of Scipio or the virtues of Blanche of Castile. It is by their weaknesses that men are human, and kings cannot escape being men. But though their weaknesses may be the cause of their undoing, it is their humanity that most engages our sympathy today. Bad examples are the easiest to follow; they are also the most amusing to relate. I hope that I shall be forgiven for having attempted to do so.".

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. In a little more than a decade, economist Michael A. Lebowitz has written several major works about the transition from capitalism to socialism: Beyond Capital (winner of the Deutscher Prize), Build It Now, The Socialist Alternative, and The Contradictions of "Real Socialism." Here, he develops and deepens the analysis contained in those pathbreaking works by tracing major issues in socialist thought from the nineteenth century through the twenty-first. Lebowitz explores the obvious but almost universally ignored fact that as human beings work together to produce society's goods and services, we also "produce" something else: namely, ourselves. Human beings are shaped by circumstances, and any vision of socialism that ignores this fact is bound to fail, or, at best, reproduce the alienation of labor that is endemic to capitalism. But how can people transform their circumstances in a way that allows them to re-organize production and, at the same time, fulfill their human potential? Lebowitz sets out to answer this question first by examining Marx's Critique of the Gotha Programme, and from there investigates the experiences of the Soviet Union and more recent efforts to build socialism in Venezuela. He argues that socialism in the twenty-first century must be animated by a central vision, in three parts: social owenership of the means of production, social production organized by workers, and the satisfaction of communal needs and communal purposes. These essays repay careful reading and reflection, and prove Lebowitz to be one of the foremost Marxist thinkers of this era. (jacket).

Paperback. Condition: Sehr gut. Dust Jacket Condition: englische Broschur. Erstausgabe. »Doch das Antike find ich zu lebendig«, lässt Goethe seinen Mephisto sagen. Die Veranstalter stellen diesen Satz ihrem Katalog voran, wohl wissend, dass es dieses Autoritätsbeweises eigentlich nicht bedürfte, um die Lebenskraft der griechischen Mythologie nachzuweisen. Über Jahrtausende haben sich Menschen mit ihren in prallen, lebensvollen Bildern überlieferten Geschichten auseinandergesetzt. Sie haben mit ihren Helden Siege gefeiert und haben deren Niederlagen erlitten. Künstler aller Zeiten haben aus diesem reichen Quell geschöpft. Ihnen verdanken wir einen unerschöpflich scheinenden Bilderschatz. Dieser ist Illustration von Geschehenem, künstlerische Interpretation von Themen und Problemstellungen und Ergebnis nicht selten respektlosen kritischen Hinterfragens. Vor allem aber haben uns die Künstler immer wieder die Gewissheit von der ungebrochenen Aktualität des Stoffes vermittelt.
