Looking forward to reading it. I enjoyed your excellent "The Women in the Room".

As you use the word "must" Jo, I assume that this is the categorical imperative, that its a font size that everyone would choose for this volume. Sorry for that awful attempt at a joke; I just couldn't resist.

It is indeed timely and important. It should be read not only by academics researching the far-right in contemporary politics, but also by mainstream politicians.

Marx returns to this criticism of capitalists and their attitude to women in The Communist Manifesto, Part 2, even mentioning prostitution; so this is very relevant to the Epstein files.

Yes, pp. 37-39 of your Why Read Marx Today comments on this very well, thanks.

Please can you give us dates of publication of the books Ralph? It would help indicate the historical context in which they were written and published.

Well done Anneliese.

That's awful, no wonder he was so depressed.

Poor man, I didn't realise, sorry.

"Everything"? However poorly he was how could he hate those lovely giant tortoises?

I like this review and I think I'd like the book. The final sentence of the second paragraph of the review offers a concise summary of the book's intentions. Good critical theory I think.

I'm not sure if this is the sort of thing you are thinking of, but how about thought experiments in philosophy? See plato.stanford.edu/entries/thou...

As you end with ellipsis, it tempting to extend your sentence Markus, so hear goes: ...because we would refuse to do the fighting for those who pretend they can imagine such a being in order to dominate us and thus gain and sustain their own power.

I don't think it tells us much though, as "conceivable" is usually taken to mean something like possible to imagine of believe. I can imagine or believe in lots of things that don't actually exist.

Sorry to hear this sad news Cath. Nobody can take away your nice memories of your friend.

Yes, and with the mysterious "impact" criterion to add a bit of confusion to the punishment.

This new book by George B. Radics looks very interesting, innovative and likely to generate much debate.

Tim, if its of any use I wrote an entry on The Black Panther Party (pp. 73-74) and one on Angela Davis (pp. 139-140) in my Historical Dictionary of Socialism (4th ed, 2024). They are not in the earlier editions. Your library might have this latest edition: www.bloomsbury.com/us/historica...

Thanks for sharing again, and she DOES deserve the recognition!

I'd prefer to revive the Labour Party.

And another thing in response to the quote, how on earth can they be more healthy when the rich and powerful will not allow the US to have a proper national health service, providing care from cradle to grave regardless of the means to pay?

I think that most mornings when I look at the world news.

Congratulations, it looks fascinating. I think this will be your first of many.

In "Marx and Engels' Communist Manifesto" (2015: 43-44) I discuss Marx's term "batters down Chinese Walls". I argue he meant the Opium wars. I quote Engels: "We have come to the point where a new machine...deprives millions of Chinese workers their livelihood..." www.bloomsbury.com/uk/marx-and-...

That sounds almost as daft as Robert Nozick's "Anarchy, State, and Utopia".
