The remarkable run of self-proclaimed "democratic socialist" Bernie Sanders for president of the United States has prompted-for the first time in decades and to the shock of many-a national conversation about socialism. A New York Times poll in late November found that a majority of Democrats had a favorable view of socialism, and in New Hampshire in February, more than half of Democratic voters under 35 told the Boston Globe they call themselves socialists. It's unclear exactly what socialism means to this generation, but couple with the ascendancy of longtime leftwinger Jeremy Corbyn to the leadership of the Labour Party in the UK, it's clear there's a historic, generational shift underway.This book steps into this moment to offer a clear, accessible, informative, and irreverent guide to socialism for the uninitiated. Written by young writers from the dynamic magazine Jacobin, alongside several distinguished scholars, The ABCs of Socialism answers basic questions, including ones that many want to know but might be afraid to ask ("Doesn't socialism always end up in dictatorship?", "Will socialists take my Kenny Loggins records?"). Disarming and pitched to a general readership without sacrificing intellectual depth, this will be the best introduction an idea whose time seems to have come again. - E-bokEngelska, 2016

The success of Jeremy Corbyn''s left-led Labour Party and Bernie Sanders''s 2016 presidential campaign revived a political idea many had thought dead. But what, exactly, is socialism? And what would a socialist system look like today? In The Socialist Manifesto, Bhaskar Sunkara, editor of Jacobin magazine, argues that socialism offers the means to achieve economic equality, and also to fight other forms of oppression, including racism and sexism. The ultimate goal is not Soviet-style planning, but to win rights to healthcare, education, and housing and to create new democratic institutions in workplaces and communities. The book both explores socialism''s history and presents a realistic vision for its future. A primer on socialism for the 21st century, this is a book for anyone seeking an end to the vast inequities of our age.- Häftad, Engelska, 2024

If the American foreign policy establishment is a grand citadel, Henry Kissinger is the specter haunting its dusty hallways. For half a century, he was an omnipresent figure in war rooms and at press briefings, dutifully shepherding the American empire through successive attempts at expansion. For multiple generations of antiwar activists, Kissinger personified the depravity of the US war machine. The Good Die Young assesses a career too frequently applauded in essays from respected scholars and journalists such as Gerald Horne, Carolyn Eisenberg, and Chip Gibbons, with an introduction from Bancroft Prize-winner Greg Grandin.The world Kissinger wrought is one we live in today, where ideal investment conditions are generated from the barrel of a gun. Today, global capitalism and United States hegemony are underwritten by the most powerful military ever devised. Any political vision worth fighting for must promise an end to the cycle of never-ending wars afflicting the world in the twenty-first century. Breaking that cycle means placing the twin evils of capitalism and imperialism in our crosshairs.The book follows Kissinger's fiery trajectory across the globe, covering Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. More than any other public figure, the life and career of this man illustrate the links between capitalism, empire, and the feedback loop of endless conflict that plagues us today. - E-bokEngelska, 2023

Capitalism isn't working. But is there a plausible alternative? The Blueprint lays one out: a system where workers control every lever of production, and competitive markets and state planning coexist side by side. Drawing on the history of socialist experiments and the economic debate over planning and markets, The Blueprint confronts the hardest questions about what went wrong in the past-and why it can go right in the future. The result is a socialism worthy of the twenty-first century. - E-bokEngelska, 2026

Nyliberalismen krackelerar, men vad kommer att ersätta den? Det globala politiska, ekologiska, ekonomiska och sociala sammanbrottet – som symboliserades men inte orsakades av Donald Trumps seger i presidentvalet – har slutgiltigt grusat föreställningen om att den nyliberala kapitalismen gynnar det stora flertalet. Nancy Fraser utforskar hur denna föreställning under det sena 1900-talet konstruerades utifrån två grundkategorier: erkännande (vem förtjänar rättigheter?) och fördelning (vem förtjänar en inkomst?). När dessa principer började erodera uppstod nya former av populistisk politik, både till höger och till vänster. Den populistiska vågen är enligt Fraser symptom på en mer omfattande kris för nyliberalismens hegemoni, ett ögonblick då, med Gramscis ord, ”det gamla dör och det nya inte kan födas”. I sitt efterföljande samtal med Bhaskar Sunkara, grundare och utgivare av tidskriften Jacobin, menar Fraser att vi nu har en möjlighet att bygga en progressiv populism i form av en emancipatorisk samhällskraft med anspråk på att etablera en ny hegemoni. 113 kr

¿Qué viene a decirnos un manifiesto socialista en momentos en que esa tradición está debilitada a escala global? Publicado en los Estados Unidos en 2019 y convertido rápidamente en un clásico en los círculos de la izquierda anglosajona, el Manifiesto Socialista es un llamado a pensar la política con nuevos ojos frente a un capitalismo cada vez más depredador. Su autor, editor de la prestigiosa revista Jacobin y exponente de la renovación del socialismo en su país, hace una apuesta doble: convencido de que la historia importa para dar sentido a las luchas actuales, presenta una síntesis de las contradicciones y los fracasos de las revoluciones comunistas y los proyectos reformistas del siglo XX. Y avanza con la propuesta de relanzar el socialismo en clave democrática, con políticas redistributivas, capacidad de organización desde abajo y confrontación inteligente –y tenaz– con las élites.Nacido en 1989, año en que cayó el socialismo real, Bhaskar Sunkara traza un balance desenfadado del gran relato del marxismo, como primer insumo crítico para construir una socialdemocracia revolucionaria que no se contente con ser el rostro amable del neoliberalismo. Libre de jerga academicista pero apoyado en una literatura sólida y actualizada, Sunkara narra la formación de los partidos obreros del siglo XIX y los logros de las luchas sindicales, el accidentado proceso soviético y los altibajos de la socialdemocracia europea, los avatares de la revolución china, las revueltas de los años sesenta y setenta y el repliegue defensivo de las izquierdas a partir de los ochenta. Por momentos, el relato se detiene para poner el foco en algunos de sus grandes protagonistas: Karl Marx, Lenin, Rosa Luxemburgo, León Trotski, Olof Palme y Mao Tse-tung, cuyas trayectorias se cuentan sin el peso de la descalificación moral y bajándolos a tierra, ahí donde tomaron decisiones y se equivocaron.El Manifiesto Socialista es, así, un recorrido histórico apasionante que acerca las luchas del pasado a las generaciones de millennials y centennials, pero también una revisión crítica, sin solemnidad y sin rigidez, de las promesas emancipadoras del siglo XX. Y sobre todo, una invitación a la construcción política, que tiene mucho que aportar a los progresismos latinoamericanos y al campo heterogéneo de las izquierdas.
