Check out “Thinking with Marx Today” by Lucien Sève now available in our Book Series!

📚 Rejecting the idea of an abstract “man,” Marx emphasized the network of social relations shaping societies and individualities. In this second volume of Thinking with Marx Today, Lucien Sève presents what he calls Marx’s revolution in anthropology, analyzing its philosophical foundations and key concepts. He critiques Nietzsche, Heidegger, and contemporary primatology while drawing on Freud, Politzer, Vygotsky, and recent biographical studies, aiming to outline a science of human individuality.

Check out “Peter von Oertzen 1924–2008: A Political and Intellectual Biography” by Philipp Kufferath now available in our Book Series!

This comprehensive study traces Peter von Oertzen’s journey from a Berlin upbringing shaped by Prussian traditions, conservative revolution, and National Socialism to his role as a Marxist and left-wing Social Democrat. It examines his influence as both political scientist and activist through informal networks, journal projects, and trade union education. Navigating the SPD’s internal dynamics, Oertzen balanced governmental responsibilities, conservative opposition, and engagement with Marxist, council-socialist, and alternative left currents.

🏆 Winner of the 2018 Niedersachsen State History Prize, this work provides unique insights into twentieth-century left Social Democracy.

Check out “Marx’s Capital: Hegelian Sources” by Andy Blunden now available in our Studies in Critical Social Sciences Book Series!

📚 Following the companion volume, "The Capital/Logic Debate", Blunden presents a systematic presentation of the Hegelian structure of the three volumes of Capital. It is shown that Capital contains three distinct layers of structure, originating from Marx’s reading of Hegel’s Logic and his Philosophy of Right. Capital reflects Marx’s critique of the Political Economists, his unique appropriation of economic history and an application of the method outlined by Hegel in his Logic and applied to his Encyclopaedia. These insights into Capital are presented here for the first time.

Check out “Urban Regimes of Dispossession in the Global South: A New Debate” by Lipon Mondal and David L. Brunsma, now available in our Studies in Critical Social Sciences Book Series!

📚This edited volume develops a theoretical framework—what we call urban regimes of dispossession—for understanding how urban actors organize dispossession and govern the urban dispossessed, how the urban dispossessed arrange, experience and resist dispossession, and how urban dispossession contributes to creating/expanding capitalist systems or transforming urban societies in the global south. The book's main arguments are built on a survey of the nearly two-hundred-year history of global dispossession studies and solid empirical evidence from three continents—Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and seven countries— Bangladesh, Brazil, Honduras, India, Lebanon, Nigeria, and Uganda. Eighteen scholars bring diverse perspectives and realities on urban dispossession, which will appeal to students, scholars, planners, and practitioners across various social scientific disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, urban studies, political economy, international relations, political science, economics, gender studies, and geography.
