Radical politics have been defined in modern times -- and
distinguished from earlier traditions of protest -- by the idea
that economic, social and political structures are contradictory.
Systems of exploitation creates not only wealth and prosperity for
the powerful, but at the same time bring into being the forces
which ensure their own eventual downfall. But it is a large step
from the general assertion that social forms contain their own
contradictions to analysis of the specific contradictions which
occur in a given historical context, their interaction and
movement, and their possible historical outcomes.
This collection of essays examines social contradictions in the
age of globalization in which old antagonisms often appear to be
overcome, and new cracks are emerging in the facade of capitalist
progress. Where do they occur? Where can they be expected to appear
in future? How can they be grasped in a spirit of sober radicalism,
which neither accepts the limits of the present nor overcomes them
through wishful thinking alone? What possibilities do they offer
for mobilizing resistance? These issues define an agenda which is
critical for socialism in our time.
