A philosopher and activist, eager to live according to ideals
forged in study and discussion, Daniel Bensaid 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 Bensaid'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.
