It was Philippe van Parijs' conviction that the Marxist tradition
can be kept alive as an essential political component of the Left
not through dutiful conservation, but through ruthless recycling:
the discarding of encumbering elements, and the reshaping of the
remainder using the latest intellectual 'technology'. The essays
collected in this book examine the structure and potential of
historical materialism as a general theory of social change. They
draw on the lessons of the failure of Marxist crisis theory, and
show how a rejuvenated notion of exploitation can illuminate the
analysis of the class structure of welfare state capitalism or the
assessment of international migration. They explore and advocate a
'capitalist road to communism' that expands the realm of freedom
while bypassing socialism, and they develop those aspects of the
Marxist project consistent with ecological concerns.
