Rigorous social science for the masses: How democratic is your democracy? Why do reforms succeed or fail? How do we know if our ideas about society are right?
Erik Olin Wright taught the course Sociological Marxism for nearly three decades. Generations of influential thinkers passed through the course and it took on an almost mythic stature on the left and throughout the discipline of sociology. Though it evolved over time the guiding principles remained the same. Claims about how the world works ought to be testable. Values can guide research but must never cloud scientific conclusions. And if you really understand an idea or phenomenon then you should be able to explain it simple language.
Sociological Marxism guides readers through the most convincing theories explaining many of the most confounding political, social and economic questions. Exploring topics ranging from the state to gender, and exploitation to measurements of well-being, this book makes a social scientist out of its reader in a single pass.
