"Is it meaningful to call oneself a democrat? And if so, how do you interpret the word?" In responding to this question, eight iconoclastic thinkers prove the rich potential of democracy, along with its critical weaknesses, and reconceive the practice to accommodate new political and cultural realities. Giorgio Agamben traces the tense history of constitutions and their coexistence with various governments. Alain Badiou contrasts current democratic practice with democratic communism. Daniel Bensaid ponders the institutionalization of democracy, while Wendy Brown discusses the democratization of society under neoliberalism. Jean-Luc Nancy measures the difference between democracy as a form of rule and as a human end, and Jacques Ranciere highlights its egalitarian nature. Kristin Ross identifies hierarchical relationships within democratic practice, and Slavoj Zizek complicates the distinction between those who desire to own the state and those who wish to do without it.Concentrating on the classical roots of democracy and its changing meaning over time and within different contexts, these essays uniquely defend what is left of the left-wing tradition after the fall of Soviet communism. They confront disincentives to active democratic participation that have caused voter turnout to decline in western countries, and they address electoral indifference by invoking and reviving the tradition of citizen involvement. Passionately written and theoretically rich, this collection speaks to all facets of modern political and democratic debate.

Excavating Marx’s early writings to rethink the rights of the poor and the idea of the commons in an era of unprecedented privatization The politics of dispossession are everywhere. Troubling developments in intellectual property, genomics, and biotechnology are undermining established concepts of property, while land appropriation and ecological crises reconfigure basic institutions of ownership. In The Dispossessed, Daniel BensaÏd examines Karl Marx’s early writings to establish a new framework for addressing the rights of the poor, the idea of the commons, and private property as a social institution.In his series of articles from 1842–43 about Rhineland parliamentary debates over the privatization of public lands and criminalization of poverty under the rubric of the “theft of wood,” Marx identified broader anxieties about customary law, property rights, and capitalist efforts to privatize the commons. BensaÏd studies these writings to interrogate how dispossession continues to function today as a key modality of power. Brilliantly tacking between past and present, The Dispossessed discloses continuity and rupture in our relationships to property and, through that, to one another.In addition to BensaÏd’s prescient work of political philosophy, The Dispossessed includes new translations of Marx’s original “theft of wood” articles and an introductory essay by Robert Nichols that lucidly contextualizes the essays.

A philosopher and activist, eager to live according to ideals forged in study and discussion, Daniel Bensa�d was a man deeply entrenched in both the French and the international left. Raised in a staunchly red neighbourhood of Toulouse, where his family owned a bistro, he grew to be France''s leading Marxist public intellectual, much in demand on talk shows and in the press. A lyrical essayist and powerful public speaker, at his best expounding large ideas to crowds of students and workers, he was a founder member of the Ligue Communiste and thrived at the heart of a resurgent far left in the 1960s, which nurtured many of the leading figures of today''s French establishment.The path from the joyous explosion of May 1968, through the painful experience of defeat in Latin America and the world-shaking collapse of the USSR, to the neoliberal world of today, dominated as it is by global finance, is narrated in An Impatient Life with Bensa�d''s characteristic elegance of phrase and clarity of vision. His memoir relates a life of ideological and practical struggle, a never-resting endeavour to comprehend the workings of capitalism in the pursuit of revolution.

The end of Soviet Socialism signalled to some observers that the ghost of Marx had finally been laid to rest. But history''s refusal to grind to a halt and the global credit crisis that began in 2008 have rekindled interest in capitalism''s most persistent critic.Written during the mid-nineties, a period of Western complacency and neo-liberal reaction, Marx for Our Times is a critical reading of dialectical materialism as a method of resistance. Without denying the contradictory character of Marx''s thought, and with a sensitivity to the plurality of theories it has inspired, Daniel Bensaid sets out to discover what in Marx remains dynamic and relevant in our era of accelerating economic change.Marx''s theory emerges, not as a doctrinal system, but as an intellectual tool of social struggle and global transformation in a world where capital continues to dominate social relations.

En los años 80, en plena ofensiva neoliberal, el semanario Newsweek titulaba a toda página: "Marx ha muerto". En las décadas siguientes, la misma frase se repitió una y otra vez en los lugares más diversos del mundo. Se la repitió tanto que hasta se podría pensar que a veces era una certeza y a veces una expresión de deseo, una súplica para que el velorio fuera rápido. En todo caso, siempre fue una consigna declamada a viva voz, para dejar en claro que el marxismo era algo de lo que no cabía aprender nada.Sin embargo, los fantasmas tienen la piel curtida y hoy Marx está de nuevo entre nosotros. En estos tiempos de crisis del capitalismo y de desbandes ideológicos, se lo está redescubriendo. Quizás porque es un pensador fundamental de la modernidad, quizás porque es el mayor y más agudo analista económico de los últimos siglos. Privarse de leerlo y estudiarlo es renunciar a un saber fundamental, ignorarlo es cultivar la propia ignorancia.Pero entonces, ¿quién fue Marx? ¿Qué es lo que dijo verdaderamente? Este ensayo de Daniel Bensaïd ofrece una breve y lúdica introducción a su vida y a su obra. Un panorama claro y a menudo divertido que conjuga política y filosofía, humor y sentido de síntesis, todo con el fin de presentar en toda su actualidad el pensamiento del principal teórico del anti-capitalismo.Ayuda memoria, curso de introducción y lectura expansiva, Marx ha vuelto es también una caja de herramientas. Trae los útiles necesarios para la reflexión y para la acción. Para el debate y para la comprensión de un presente que parece cada vez más oscuro y complejo, y cuyas líneas maestras Marx anticipó en El Capital.
