Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Change the World Without Taking Power by John Holloway A classic thought-experiment in the true meaning of resistance. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book is a profound search for a theory of social change. Through clearing away the cobwebs of revolutionary socialism, it renews the fight for the ending of capitalism and the construction of a new, fairer world.After a century of failed attempts by radical projects, the concept of revolution itself is in crisis. By asking the deepest questions about the nature of humanity, work, capitalism, organisation and resistance, John Holloway looks sharply at modern protest movements and provides tools for creating new strategies.First published in 2002, this book marked a shift in the understanding of Autonomism, Anarchism and Marxism, addressing the doubts activists had in their own political history and work, and helped form the perspectives of a new generation who are today changing the world. Author Biography John Holloway has published widely on Marxist theory, on the Zapatista movement and on the new forms of anti-capitalist struggle. His book Change the World without Taking Power has been translated into eleven languages and has stirred an international debate, and Crack Capitalism is a renowned classic. He is currently Professor of Sociology in the Instituto de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades of the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla in Mexico.

A must read, and already a classic -- Werner Bonefeld, The University of YorkThis book has transformed the way we think about radical change.

A must read for every student and practitioner of political science -- USI JournalA beautiful but strange book -- Antonio NegriThis book should not only be thought of as a masterful contribution to critical theory in the speculative mode of Hegel, Bloch, or Adorno; it is intended, rather, as a contribution to revolutionary practice.
