Only People Make Their Own History : Writings on Capitalism, Imperialism, and Revolution

Radical political economist Amin (1931-2018) wrote on a wide range of topics, and this volume collects 11 of his most significant essays from the Monthly Review magazine written during the 21st century. Friend and fellow Marxist philosopher Aijaz Ahmad introduces the collection with a survey of Amin's life and work. Among the topics are the political economy of the 20th century, the trajectory of historical capitalism and Marxism's tricontinental vocation, the return of fascism in contemporary capitalism, contemporary imperialism, revolution from north to south, and The Communist Manifesto 170 years later.
