"This book traces the crystallisation of post-Marxism as a specific theoretical position in its own right and considers the role played in its development by poststructuralism, postmodernism and second-wave feminism.

It examines the history of dissenting tendencies within the Marxist tradition, stretching from Rosa Luxemburg through the Frankfurt School to more recent theorists such as Barry Hindness, Paul Hirst, Rudolf Bahro, Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe, and considers what the future prospects of post-Marxism are likely to be.".

"A comprehensive account of the development of post-Marxist thought, Post-Marxism is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of Politics, Philosophy, Literature, Sociology and Gender Studies."--BOOK JACKET.
