Books by Marshall Berman

A new beginning for Marxism might just be on the horizon of a landscape despoiled by Soviet Communism and a now wobbling world capitalism. In this text Berman brings together various discussions of work on Marx and Marxism.

Offering a kaleidoscopic journey into the experiences of modernization, the dizzying social changes that swept millions of people into the capitalist world, this title dexterously interweaves an exploration of modernism in art, literature, and architecture.

Explores the historical experiences and needs out of which the new radicalism arose. Focussing on eighteenth-century Paris, a time and place in which a modern form of society was just coming into its own, this book shows how the ideal of authenticity - of a self that could organize the individual's energy and direct it toward his own happiness.
