ISBN: 1-58367-049-1 (pbk) 308 pages Socialist Register 2002: A World of Contradictions edited by Leo Panitch and Colin Leys Radical politics have been defined in modern times — and distinguished from earlier traditions of protest — by the idea that economic, social and political structures are contradictory. Systems of exploitation creates not only wealth and prosperity for the powerful, but at the same time bring into being the forces which ensure their own eventual downfall. But it is a large step from the general assertion that social forms contain their own contradictions to analysis of the specific contradictions which occur in a given historical context, their interaction and movement, and their possible historical outcomes. This collection of essays examines social contradictions in the age of globalization in which old antagonisms often appear to be overcome, and new cracks are emerging in the façade of capitalist progress.
