Ernest Mandel and the pulsation of history
| Resumo: | Ernest Mandel's Long Waves of Capitalist Development was his last major theoretical work. The second edition of the book (1995), which includes two new chapters added to the first English edition (1980) dealing with the current state of the debate, was finished and published very shortly before the author's death in July 1995. This text is the culmination of thirty years of research on a subject which was largely redefined and shaped by Mandel: his arguments, including the polemical tone appreciated by those who knew him, synthesize a broad view of the evolution of capitalism as a civilization, namely of its main economic and social trends, and its interrelation with the political factors in historical perspective. |
