Description
Erik Olin Wright's Interrogating Inequality is a collection of essays that explores key issues in class analysis, socialism and Marxism. The book begins with an autobiographical essay that reflects on the challenges and benefits of being a Marxist scholar in today's era.
The second section of the book examines the problem of socialism as a possible future to capitalism, discussing the conceptual status of socialism and its relationship to reforms such as basic income grants. Wright also explores the general problem of Marxism as a tradition of radical social theory, addressing issues including analytical Marxism, feminism and the prospects for Marxism in the aftermath of the collapse of communist regimes.
This collection offers valuable insights into the theoretical problems that are central to radical social scientists and political activists, making it an important read for anyone interested in these topics.
