"The search for the Promised Land took socialists in diverse directions: revolution, communes and kibbutzim, social democracy, communism, fascism, Third Worldism. But none of these paths led to the prophesied utopia. Nowhere did socialists succeed in creating societies of easy abundance or in midwifing the birth of a "New Man," as their theory promised. Some socialist governments abandoned their grandiose goals and satisfied themselves with making slight modifications to capitalism, while others plowed ahead doggedly, often inducing staggering human catastrophes. Then, after two hundred years of wishful thinking and fitful governance, socialism suddenly imploded in the 1990s in a fin du siecle drama of falling walls, collapsing regimes and frantic revisions of doctrine."--BOOK JACKET.

In this provocative and enthusiastically revisionist book, the distinguished economist Meghnad Desai argues that capitalism's recent efflorescence is something Karl Marx anticipated and indeed would, in a certain sense, have welcomed. Capitalism, as Marx understood it, would only reach its limits when it was no longer capable of progress. Desai argues that globalization, in bringing the possibility of open competition on world markets to producers in the Third World, has proved that capitalism is still capable of moving forwards. Marx's Revenge opens with a consideration of the ideas of Adam Smith and Hegel. It proceeds to look at the nuances in the work of Marx himself, and concludes with a survey of more recent economists who studied capitalism and attempted to unravel its secrets, including Joseph Schumpeter, John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich Hayek.

Life is unique. Everyone has a life for themselves. Many times, I met people, visited places, saw situations, or encountered lots of events that have remained in my memory at all times. Reading books from an early age, I discovered that this is the strong and sure way to real freedom! Meeting all kinds of people, seeing with my mind's eyes their lives, and talking with them, I learned enormously. Any human being has a special value when they do something to contribute to the progress of society by science or art or innovations or daily hard work! So, all my life, I have worked very hard, and I educated my family in this way. I was impressed and amazed at what human beings can do! A long time ago in my early age, I wrote a poem for my mom that was published in a local newspaper. I wrote two other books, but I never had the financial power to publish them. Working in many fields of activity, I talked with people that told me very interesting things. I understood very early that human beings deserved respect and consideration for doing something good for society. What is good for society is good for themselves and their family, and this is important. This book is like a flame in my soul. I did all in my power to publish it so that people can read it, of course the people who want it. The book is an expression to help people to stay together. Killing or stealing or hurting others must stop, by all means! Life is a serious job. Everyone has a chance. But you are the one to make a choice. Always build, never demolish. Finally, life puts everyone in the position he or she really deserves! You have the right to criticize the book! And it's so easy to judge.

Winner of the René Wellek Prize Named a Best Book of the Year by The Guardian, The Millions, and The Sydney Morning Herald This Life offers a profoundly inspiring basis for transforming our lives, demonstrating that our commitment to freedom and democracy should lead us beyond both religion and capitalism. Philosopher Martin Hägglund argues that we need to cultivate not a religious faith in eternity but a secular faith devoted to our finite life together. He shows that all spiritual questions of freedom are inseparable from economic and material conditions: what matters is how we treat one another in this life and what we do with our time. Engaging with great philosophers from Aristotle to Hegel and Marx, literary writers from Dante to Proust and Knausgaard, political economists from Mill to Keynes and Hayek, and religious thinkers from Augustine to Kierkegaard and Martin Luther King, Jr., Hägglund points the way to an emancipated life.

This book is a philosophical and pragmatic insight into the methods and disguises of socialism. It offers a set of remedies and an urgent call-to-action in response to the unique forms of socialism evolving today within the United States. The book combines historical and economic truths with a scientific approach to analyzing the tenets and the tragedy of socialism. Every year, there is a list of the world's top causes of death. The list ordinarily includes heart disease, stroke, pulmonary disease, lung cancer, tuberculosis, and malaria, among others. However, there is one cause of death that is conspicuously absent from this list; one that has claimed more than one hundred million lives over the past century alone, and one that has left countless millions of lives and families in shambles. You will not find this cause of death listed on any coroner's reports. You will not find any laboratories researching a cure. There are no fundraisers or public awareness campaigns around it. You will not even find a passing mention of it in any of the newspapers. It is the most ruthless of serial killers, and yet it never has its day in court. More than people, this cause of death has claimed entire civilizations. It is the most silent of killers: it is Death by Socialism.
