Drawing upon the fertile tradition of left-wing Hungarian Social Science, she offers her own theory of transitional society, suggesting that socialism was not an independent formation, but instead a society in transition. She relocates soviet-type societies on the semi-periphery of the capitalist world system. In addition she offers a critique of capitalism that pivots on the two connected issues of over production and ecological crisis. She makes the distinction between an anti-globalism critique and a globalization critique, locating herself in the latter. This work offers readers the opportunity to engage in a critique of capitalism that is organized along a new understanding of socialism itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Central European University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47616460456087,"sku":"9789637326295","price":3268.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789637326295.webp?v=1775113535","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/socialism-an-analysis-of-its-past-and-future-9789637326295","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
