They brought down the German monarchy, founded several short-lived council republics, and dramatically transformed European politics. \u003cem\u003eBuilding Power to Change the World\u003c\/em\u003e reconstructs how participants in the German council movements struggled for a democratic socialist society. It examines their attempts to democratize politics, the economy, and society through building powerful worker-led organisations and cultivating workers' political agency. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing from the practices of the council movements and the writings of theorists such as Rosa Luxemburg, Anton Pannekoek and Karl Kautsky, \u003cem\u003eBuilding Power to Change the World\u003c\/em\u003e returns to their radical vision of a self-determining society and their political program of democratization and socialization. It presents a powerful argument for renewed attention to the political theories of this historical period and for their ongoing relevance for democratic politics today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Muldoon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198856628\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198856627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"James Muldoon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44126970806527,"sku":"9780198856627","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e1776bf0-50fd-4279-a819-0bde5b7d79e4.jpg?v=1687451153","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/building-power-to-change-the-james-muldoon-9780198856627","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
