    Limits of the Green New Deal

    Originally published: Marxist Sociology Blog on December 11, 2019 by John McCollum (more by Marxist Sociology Blog)  | (Posted Dec 13, 2019)

    The Green New Deal is an exciting social program generating a great deal of interest on the left.

Monthly Review Essays

  • Post-Political Post-Aesthetics
    Marc James Léger | Picasso in Palestine | MR Online

    The universal premises of culture and politics have been subject to criticism from the moment that Enlightenment theories emerged. In postmodern theory, radical skepticism replaces judgement and makes universal speculation seem like either an absurd game or a violent imposition.

Lost & Found

  • The Puzzle of Financialization
    Harry Magdoff | Monthly Review Volume 45 Number 5 October 1993 | MR Online

    In this reprise from October 1993, Henry Magdoff and Paul Sweezy ask: “Isn’t there anyone around here who understands how this capitalist system works?”
