> "Historical Materialism is already among the most highly regarded
>journals in Marxian theory published in any language. In an age of
>increasing specialization, it is committed to high quality articles from
>across a broad range of disciplines. If a resurgence of Marxian thinking
>occurs in the twenty-first century, Historical Materialism will deserve a
>good part of the credit."

> Issue 4 of Historical Materialism features the long-awaited first part of
>a symposium on the recent global economic instabilities and Robert
>Brenner's new theory of their historical basis. This unique
>multidisciplinary debate brings together some of the world's leading
>Marxist commentators, including Alex Callinicos, Guglielmo Carchedi, Simon
>Clarke, Gerard Dumenil and Dominique Levy, Chris Harman, David Laibman,
>Michael Lebowitz, Fred Moseley, Murray Smith, and Ellen Meiksins Wood. The
>debate will be concluded in Issue 5 later in the year, featuring further
>contributions from Werner Bonefeld, Francois Chesnais, Alan Freeman,
>Michel Husson, Anwar Shaikh, Tony Smith, Richard Walker, and John Weeks.

>"The birth of Historical Materialism was a major event, not only because
>it provides a unique forum for non-sectarian Marxist debate but also
>because it represents a change in the wind, a really promising sign of
>socialist renewal."
> Ellen Meiksins Wood (author, Democracy Against Capitalism,1995)
>

>
> In addition Issue 4 continues the lively and refreshing mix of essays and
>reviews that makes Historical Materialism both and essential resource and
>a pleasure to read: a fascinating history of the distorted reception of
>Lenin's What Is To Be Done? by the late Hal Draper, never before
>published; an extended defence by Tony Smith of the Hegelian Marxism
>revival against John Rosenthal's recent polemic; and a reviews section
>that ranges from British Communism to American pragmatism to Australian
>trade unionism. At 320 pages this issue of Historical Materialism is our
>biggest yet - and with a cover price of £8 and subscriptions for less,
>incredibly good value. Full details of how to subscribe can be found
>below.

>"Historical Materialism demonstrates that Marxist analysis is not merely
>alive, but thriving again as the contradictions of globalisation generate
>economic, social and cultural tensions which mainstream analysis cannot
