OverviewAt a time when many on the Left are proclaiming Marxism incapable of explaining the new phenomena of this last quarter of the 20th century, Ernest Mandel reminds us in The Place of Marxism in History that Marxism from its very inception drew on current emancipation movements and on contemporary advances in the social sciences. Mandel identifies the specific contributions made by Marx and Engles to philosophy, political economy, social history, revolutionary organization, emancipation movements and internationalism. Concluding that Marxism constantly learns from perpetually changing reality and that it is the conscious expression of the real movement of workers toward self-emancipation, Mandel proposes a formula that provides for a dialectical interaction between innovation and the verification of established Marxist tenets.
