"Impressive ... with a finely tuned style of analysis and judgment."
–Guardian "One could not hope for a better guide for the arduous journey still to come."
–Mediations "Regular readers of the New Left Review will find in this book many of the traits associated with that journal: a broad–sometimes Olympian–sweep; a level-headed combination of radical critique and sober analysis; a dialectical conception of society as a 'totality, ' irreducible to this or that social-scientific discipline."
