The fall of Communism has been an epoch-making event. The
distinguished contributors to After the Fall explain to us the
meaning of Communism's meteoric trajectory - and explore the
rational grounds for socialist endeavour and commitment in a world
which remains dangerous and divided. The contributors include the
Italian political philosopher Norberto Bobbio, the British
historian Eric Hobsbawm, the French economist Andre Gorz, and the
German social theorist Jurgen Habermas. Eduardo Galeano explains
how the now world looks from the South, Diane Elson explores how
the market might be socialized, Ralph Miliband writes on the
harshness of Leninism, Hans Magnus Enzenberger argues that the
capitalist 'bad fairy' granted the Left's wishes in disconcerting
ways. Lynne Segal looking at the condition of women sees no reason
to abandon her libertarian, feminist and socialist convictions,
while Maxine Molyneux considers the implications for women of the
fall of Communism. Giovanni Arrighi asks whether Marxism understood
the 'American Century', Fredric Jameson pursues a conversation on
the new world order, Ivan Szelenyi explains who will be the new
rulers of Eastern Europe, and Robin Blackburn reflects on the
history of socialist programmes, with the benefit of hindsight.
Fred Halliday and Edward Thompson disagree about how Communism
ended but share worries about what is in store for the
post-Communist countries. Alexander Cockburn regrets the death of
the Soviet Union. And Goeran Therborn eloquent proves that it is
still possible to imagine a future beyond capitalism... and beyond
socialism?
