Abstract

buy this issueFor those wishing to understand the theory and practice of "socialism for the 21st century," the publication this summer of Michael Lebowitz's The Socialist Alternative: Real Human Development (Monthly Review Press) is a major event. Like Marta Harnecker, whose work, "Latin America and Twenty-First Century Socialism: Inventing to Avoid Mistakes," forms the content of this issue of Monthly Review, Lebowitz is associated with the Centro Internacional Miranda research institute in Venezuela, is an advisor to President Hugo Chávez, and is a major Marxian theorist and political economist. He is also author of Beyond Capital: Marx's Political Economy of the Working Class, and, more recently, Build it Now (Monthly Review Press, 2006)
