Democracy and Brazil: Collapse and Regression discusses the
de-democratization process underway in contemporary Brazil. The
relative political stability that characterized domestic politics
in the 2000s ended with the sudden emergence of a series of massive
protests in 2013, followed by the controversial impeachment of
Dilma Rousseff in 2016 and the election of Jair Bolsonaro in 2018.
In this new, more conservative period in Brazilian politics, a
series of institutional reforms deepened the distance between
citizens and representatives. Brazil's current political crisis
cannot be understood without reference to the continual growth of
right-wing and ultra-right discourse, on the one hand, and to the
neoliberal ideology that pervades the minds of large parts of the
Brazilian elite, on the other. Twenty experts on Brazil across
different fields discuss the ongoing political turmoil in the light
of distinct problems: geopolitics, gender, religion, media,
indigenous populations, right-wing strategies, and new forms of
coup, among others. Updated analyses enriched with historical
perspective help to illuminate the intricate issues that will
determine the country's fate in years to come. Democracy and
Brazil: Collapse and Regression will interest students and scholars
of Brazilian Politics and History, Latin America, and the broader
field of democracy studies.

This edited volume is focused on Hilferding's major work, Finance
Capital. In revisiting this influential book from a methodological
point of view, both historical and intellectual, this book affirms
Hilferding's place in the Marxist tradition. Hilferding's ideas are
used to criticise incumbent approaches in economics and enrich
existing discussions and debates about the nature of modern
capitalism. In doing so, this book highlights the importance of
Hilferding's work in analysing and understanding modern capitalism
and corporate developments. The volume has contributions from a
range of expert scholars addressing various aspects of Hilferding's
arguments. It elaborates on Hilferding's central idea on the
political economy, as well as its historical context, and its
relation to Marx. Contributors move on to criticize Hilferding's
views on the political economy and politics in general. This book
is relevant to those interested in the political economy, the
history of economic thought, and European politics.
This book examines what we can gain from a critical reading of
Marx's final manuscript and his conclusion of the "systematic
presentation" of his critique, which was the basis for Engels's
construction of the third volume of his infamous 'Capital'. The
text introduces the reader to a key problemof Marx's largely
implicit epistemology, by exploring the systematic character of his
exposition and the difference of this kind of 'systematicity' from
Hegelian philosophical system construction. The volume contributes
to establishing a new understanding of the critique of political
economy, as it has been articulated in various debates since the
1960s - especially in France, Germany, and Italy - and as it had
already been initiated by Marx and some of his followers, with Rosa
Luxemburg in a key role. All the chapters are transdisciplinary in
nature, and explore the modern day relevance of Marx's and
Luxemburg's theoretical analysis of the dominance of the capitalist
mode of production.
The book is based upon a call for papers and a conference to mark
the 100th anniversary of Rosa Luxemburg's principal work, The
Accumulation of Capital: A Contribution to an Economic Explanation
of Imperialism, published in 1913. Eleven contributors from five
different countries come together to discuss different issues and
dimensions connected with Luxemburg's work and focus on its
continuing relevancy. This collection investigates topics such as,
the influences of Karl Marx and Maxim Kovalevsky, the imperialism
debate in German social democracy, and the critical reception of
Luxemburg's work from Marxist and feminist viewpoints. By
positioning Luxemburg's work in a historical context, this book
offers an accessible and timely insight into the significance of
The Accumulation of Capital and, more importantly, demonstrates why
Luxemburg's legacy should live on.
