About the book: 2007 / In the 1990s, when history seemed to many to be over, the concept of “revolution” almost completely fell out of use among intellectuals and politicians, being used only in relation to past events. The radical transformation of society seemed something incredible and unimaginable. Meanwhile, life did not stand still, and society was changing. And from the point of view of millions of people, things were far from changing for the better. The main historical achievement of capitalism, apparently, is that thanks to it a revolutionary anti-capitalist alternative is born. You can read about all this in the book of the famous left-wing political scientist and public figure Boris Kagarlitsky.
