Formations of Modernity is a major introductory textbook offering an account of the important historical processes, institutions and ideas that have shaped the development of modern societies. This challenging and innovative book 'maps' the evolution of those distinctive forms of political, economic, social and cultural life which characterize modern societies, from their origins in early modern Europe to the nineteenth century. It examines the roots of modern knowledge and the birth of the social sciences in the Enlightenment, and analyses the impact on the emerging identity of 'the West' of its encounters through exploration, trade, conquest and colonization, with 'other civilizations'. Designed as an introduction to modern societies and modern sociological analyses, this book is of value to students on a wide variety of social science courses in universities and colleges and also to readers with no prior knowledge of sociology. Selected readings from a broad range of classical writers (Weber, Durkheim, Marx, Freud, Adam Smith, Montesquieu, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau) and contemporary thinkers (Michael Mann, E.P. Thompson, Edward Said) are integrated in each chapter, together with student questions and exercises.

As the rivalry between the US and China enters a dangerous new phase, reaffirming the politics of anti-imperialism is a task more important than ever.
From trade wars and pandemic politics to rioting workers, intercontinental balloons, and battles over TikTok, the US media tends to present contemporary China—when it’s discussed at all—in sensationalist terms. This portrayal has only intensified as China’s relationship with the United States has grown increasingly hostile. Whether in the form of overtly racist rhetoric and aggressive trade actions, or the more buttoned down but equally antagonistic efforts to oppose Chinese interests abroad, the US has made clear that it has no interest in giving up its position as global hegemon. This seemingly endless cycle of nationalism, jingoism, and reactionary politics on both sides of the Pacific suggests a downward spiral that could plausibly result in catastrophic military confrontation.
China in Global Capitalism forcefully makes the case that workers and socially marginalized people in both the US and China must oppose our rulers’ claims that they have our best interests in mind as they ratchet up their rivalry. Rather, if we’re to avert nuclear calamity, we must oppose imperialism in all its forms, and regardless of its source and rhetoric.
Through snapshots of China’s growing social movements—from its labor struggles to feminist campaigns, and more—Lin, Liu, Friedman, and Smith provide some of the building blocks we’ll need to construct a movement that centers international solidarity across borders.

《共产党宣言》是马克思和恩格斯为共产主义者同盟起草的纲领，全文贯穿马克思主义的历史观，马克思主义诞生的重要标志。由马克思执笔写成 。1848年2月21日在伦敦第一次以单行本问世。2月24日，《共产党宣言》正式出版。

《反杜林论》是恩格斯于1876年5月底至1878年7月初的著作，是一部伟大的马克思主义著作，是马克思主义发展史上的一座丰碑。这部著作的内容十分丰富，系统地论述了马克思主义的三个组成部分(哲学、政治经济学、科学社会主义)及其内在联系，是一部马克思主义的百科全书。杜林(1833~1912)出生于德国一个大官僚家庭。他是柏林大学讲师，小资产阶级思想家。早在1867年，马克思的《资本论》第一卷出版后，他就写文章“批判”《资本论》。可是，在1875年前后，他却摇身一变，宣布他改信社会主义，并以社会主义“改革家”自居，扬言要在科学中实行一次全面的“改革”。他著书立说，发表了一系列著作，以假乱真，毒害群众，疯狂地反对马克思主义。
由于杜林的错误理论是打着“社会主义”这块金字招牌，并以“科学”的伪装出现，因此在德国党内外产生了很大影响。在德国党面前，提出一个十分严肃的问题：是以杜林主义作为党的理论基础，还是以马克思主义作为党的指导思想?这不仅是关系德国党能否作为一个真正的无产阶级政党而存在的根本问题，也是关系到整个国际共产主义运动沿着什么方向前进的根本问题。为了捍卫科学社会主义的学说，使刚刚统一起来的德国党沿着正确道路前进，必须批驳杜林主义。为此，在马克思的大力支持下，恩格斯花了两年多的时间，写下了一系列批判杜林的文章，在德国党的机关报——《前进报》上陆续发表。1878年7月印成单行本，这就是著名的理论巨著——《反杜林论》。这部著作的问世，对于保卫马克思主义世界观，维护科学社会主义纲领，推动德国工人运动和整个共产主义运动的发展，起了十分重要的作用。

考茨基著作单行本

本书共分为两个主要部分。第一部分为理论部分。作者根据马克思主义政治经济学原理，从商品经济入手，深入浅出地分析了资本主义制度下各种不可克服的矛盾，阐明了资本主义制度一定要灭亡、社会主义一定要胜利的客观历史规律。在这一部分里，作者还分析了第二国际破产的原因，论述了第三国际成立的意义。
本书的第二部分为无产阶级专政和共产主义建设部分。在这一部分里，作者具体分析了俄国的国际地位、俄国的大工业、第一次世界大战的后果和俄国的小资产阶级性等等特点，指出了十月社会主义革命在苏联取得胜利的必然性。与此同时，作者还从俄国的实际情况出发，对于党在无产阶级取得胜利以后所面临的诸如民主与专政、民族、宗教、军事、法院、银行、货币、工农业生产组织等等这样一些极为重要的问题，作了理论上的论证。
二十年代中，随着我国革命的发展，《共产主义ABC》一书也开始流传到我们中国。1926年该书的第一部分（即理论部分）曾经被译成中文作为新青年社丛书之一由新青年出版社出版，对于马列主义基本知识在我国的传播起了很好的作用。
本书写于1919年，当时的苏联正处在战时共产主义时期，《共产主义ABC》一书也象苏联当时理论界的许多著作一样，在某种程度上不能不留下时代的烙印，特别是该书第二部分中的某些观点，比如工农业生产的国有化问题，社会主义制度下的商品、货币、交换等等问题，是不符合后来社会主义建设实践经验的。但是，尽管如此，该书仍不失为一本好书，对于我们今天研究马克思主义的发展，仍有一定的参考价值。
本书中文版是根据1925年苏联出的俄文版译出的。原书附有1919年俄共（布）第八次代表大会通过的俄共（布）党纲，考虑到该党纲在我国已有中文版本，故这里从略。

书名原文:Исторический материализм как социально-философская теория

This book presents the main economic argument developed by Marx in the three volumes of Capital in a coherent and comprehensive manner. It also delves into three long-standing debates in Marxist political economy: the transformation problem, the Okishio theorem, and theories of exploitation and oppression. Starting with discussions of methodology, including dialectics and historical materialism, the book explains key concepts of Marxist political economy: commodity, value, money, capital, reserve army of labour, accumulation of capital, circuit of capital, reproduction schemas, prices of production, profit, interest and rent. Scholars of economics, sociology, geography, political science, anthropology, and other kindred disciplines, will find here an accessible yet rigorous treatment of Marxist political economy.

The Cold War is often presented as a power struggle between the Soviet Union and the United States. Richard Saull challenges this assumption. He broadens our understanding of the defining political conflict of the twentieth century by stressing the social and ideological differences between the superpowers and how these differences conditioned their international behavior.



Saull argues that U.S.-Soviet antagonism was part of a wider conflict between capitalism and communism involving states and social forces other than the superpowers. The United States was committed to containing revolutionary movements that emerged out of uneven capitalist development. Saull not only provides a richer international history of the Cold War than has been offered by mainstream approaches, but he also explains why revolutionary domestic transformations caused international crises. Tracing the origins of resistance to American power, Saull's book provides an ideal alternative perspective on the Cold War and its end.



"Saull provides us with major new insights into the turbulent history of the twentieth century. A must read for those looking for another way of thinking about our dark times."
---Michael Cox, Director of the Cold War Studies Centre, London School of Economics



"An indispensable book."
---Marilyn Young, Department of History, New York University



"Sophisticated and illuminating. The book exposes the thin superficiality of mainstream efforts to explain the dynamics of the Cold War. Saull's fascinating book will be indispensable not only for students of Cold War history but for students of international relations."

This classic by an associate of Yugoslavia's Tito created a sensation when it was published in 1957 because it was the first time that a ranking Communist had publicly analyzed his disillusionment with the system.

The last two hundred years have seen a massive increase in the size of the world economy and equally massive inequalities of wealth and power between different parts of the world. They have also witnessed the rise to dominance of the capitalist mode of production. Marxists, from Marx himself through to present day thinkers, have argued that these changes are profoundly interconnected. This book offers a unique account of Marxist theories of Imperialism. It has been fully updated and expanded to cover all the developments since its initial publication and will be essential reading for any student of Marxism.

The Unfinished Struggle is one of the most concise, comprehensive, and accessible histories of the modern American labor movement ever written. Labor scholar and activist Steve Babson's dramatic narrative examines the numerous attempts to organize workers from the Great Uprising of 1877 to the 'sitdown' strikes of the 1930s to the present day. Babson illuminates the tumultuous past, evolving agenda, and continuing conflicts of the labor movement. He carefully identifies the causes of labor's decline in recent decades and explains union leaders' attempts to revive their organizations. Most important, Babson shows readers how the fortunes of organized labor are tied to larger trends in American history.

We are currently witnessing some of the greatest challenges to democratic regimes since the 1930s, with democratic institutions losing ground in numerous countries throughout the world. At the same time organized labor has been under assault worldwide, with steep declines in union density rates. In this timely handbook, scholars in law, political science, history, and sociology explore the role of organized labor and the working class in the historical construction of democracy. They analyze recent patterns of democratic erosion, examining its relationship to the political weakening of organized labor and, in several cases, the political alliances forged by workers in contexts of nationalist or populist political mobilization. The volume breaks new ground in providing cross-regional perspectives on labor and democracy in the United States, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Beyond academia, this volume is essential reading for policymakers and practitioners concerned with the relationship between labor and democracy.

Uncertain Futures: An Assessment of the Conditions of the Present provides a detailed look into the economic and political conditions of our present moment from a Marxist perspective. Key aspects of Marxist economic theory are illustrated in clear ways in order to provide an easy introduction to Marxist thought and their applicability. The book also examines the sluggish recovery from the Great Recession, in the context of the long-term feasibility of sustaining the capitalist system by placing it into a historical framework. It considers the necessity of social democratic reforms while calling for an anarchic re-invigoration of the politics of everyday life.
