If this shift in Marxism reflected the recognition that the expected revolutions were not forthcoming in the years before World War II, its Cold War afterlife helped to both unify the West in its struggle with the Soviet Union and bolster the belief that capitalism remained dominant in the contest over progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book deprovincialises Marx and the West's cultural turn by returning to the theorist's earlier explanations of capital's origins and development, which followed a trajectory beyond Euro-America to Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Marx's expansive view shows how local circumstances, time, and culture intervened to reshape capital's system of production in these regions. His outline of a diversified global capitalism was much more robust than was his sketch of the English experience in \u003cem\u003eCapital\u003c\/em\u003e and helps explain the disparate routes that evolved during the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEngaging with the texts of Lenin, Luxemburg, Gramsci, and other pivotal theorists, Harootunian strips contemporary Marxism of its cultural preoccupation by reasserting the deep relevance of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000680104172,"sku":"9780231174817","price":56.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/7804873482270.jpg?v=1763296103"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/harry-harootunian.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
