{"product_id":"democracy-against-capitalism-ellen-meiksins-wood-9781784782443","title":"Democracy Against Capitalism: Renewing Historical Materialism","description":"Historian and political thinker Ellen Meiksins Wood argues that theories of \"postmodern\" fragmentation, \"difference,\" and con-tingency can barely accommodate the idea of capitalism, let alone subject it to critique. In this book she sets out to renew the critical program of historical materialism by redefining its basic concepts and its theory of history in original and imaginative ways, using them to identify the specificity of capitalism as a system of social relations and political power. She goes on to explore the concept of democracy in both the ancient and modern world, examining its relation to capitalism, and raising questions about how democracy might go beyond the limits imposed on it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ellen Meiksins Wood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784782440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784782443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Ellen Meiksins Wood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46825813606655,"sku":"9781784782443","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3efcc377-7759-4519-8abb-e2318842c762.jpg?v=1746073701","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/democracy-against-capitalism-ellen-meiksins-wood-9781784782443","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
