Oxford University Press Divided Societies: Class Struggle in Contemporary Capitalism

This new work from a well-known writer on socialism and the state asks what meaning the notion of class struggle possesses in advanced capitalist societies. In recent years, political debate has tended to marginalize the question of conflict between the classes, seen as central by earlier thinkers on both the Left and the Right. In this book, Ralph Miliband argues for the continued relevance and centrality of class struggle in today's Western societies and brings new insights to subjects of perennial controversy.
