The globalized economy of the present is the result of political and social revolutions directed against pre-capitalist economic structures.
Once of central importance to left historians and activists, recently the concept of the 'bourgeois revolution' has come in for sustained criticism from both Marxists and conservatives. In this abridged edition of How Revolutionary Were the Bourgeois Revolutions?, Neil Davidson expertly distils his theoretical and historical insights about the nature of revolution for general readers. Through research and comprehensive analysis, Davidson demonstrates that what's at stake is far from a stale issue for the history books - understanding struggles of the past offer lessons for today's radicals.
