Download The Necessity of Social Control by Istvan Meszaros - mirror 1 --- mirror 2 --- mirror 3 -- --------------- br Synopsis: As John Bellamy Foster writes in his foreword to the present book, �Istvan Meszaros is one of the greatest philosophers that the historical materialist tradition has yet produced. His work stands practically alone today in the depth of its analysis of Marx�s theory of alienation, the structural crisis of capital, the demise of Soviet-style post-revolutionary societies, and the necessary conditions of the transition to socialism. His dialectical inquiry into social structure and forms of consciousness�a systematic critique of the prevailing forms of thought�is unequaled in our time.
