Postmodern Socialism

One important feature of the "postmodern" era is the fact that capitalism is now the sole world system, almost entirely free of competition from other means of organizing economic life at the local, national or international level. In this situation, what happens to socialism in its various forms? "Postmodern Socialism" explores the political implications of the writings of a number of contemporary cultural theorists, European and North American, by asking them this question. In doing so, it introduces the reader to new ways of interpreting political traditions, a collection of theoretical concerns broadly labelled "postmodern".
