The current return of interest in socialism and the critique of capitalism make a reengagement with far-left socialist currents of significant interest. Beyond Post-Socialism considers the contemporary situation and prospects of socialism through a series of studies of important Left thinkers including Cornelius Castoriadis, Hardt and Negri, Badiou, Debord, and Wallerstein; through currents such as anarchism and post-Marxism; and through pressing issues like globalization and post-modern thought. El-Ojeili argues for the urgent currency of socialism's left incarnations, towards a critical understanding of the present and the imagination of a better future. This book will be compelling to scholars and students of social and political thought and to all those interested in the emergence of a new global left.
