This magisterial analysis of human history - from "Lucy," the
first hominid, to the Great Recession of 2008 - combines the
insights of earlier generations of Marxist historians with radical
new ideas about the historical process.Reading history against the
grain, Neil Faulkner reveals that what happened in the past was not
predetermined. Choices were frequent and numerous. Different
outcomes - liberation or barbarism - were often possible. Rejecting
the top-down approach of conventional history, Faulkner contends
that it is the mass action of ordinary people that drives great
events.At the beginning of the 21st century - with economic
disaster, war, climate catastrophe and deep class divisions -
humans face perhaps the greatest crisis in the long history of our
species. The lesson of A Marxist History of the World is that,
since we created our past, we can also create a better future.
