Life of an Anarchist
The Alexander Berkman Reader
Alexander Berkman
Foreword by Howard Zinn
Edited by Gene FellnerAlexander Berkman was a twentieth-century American revolutionary. Like the abolitionist John Brown before him, Berkman was hugely idealistic, ready to go to the furthest extreme of self-sacrifice and violence on behalf of justice and civil rights. He decided to assassinate industrialist Henry Clay Frick after reading in the newspaper that Pinkertons hired by Frick had opened fire on the Homestead strikers, killing men, women,and children. Berkman’s bungled attempt cost him fifteen years in a federal penitentiary. Upon his release, he became an effective agitator against conscription and was again imprisoned and eventually deported to Russia, where he saw firsthand the early days of Bolshevism. Berkman’s writings remain a lasting and impassioned record of intense political transformation.
Featuring a new introduction by Howard Zinn, Life of an Anarchist contains Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist, Berkman’s account of his years in prison;...

Praise for the Author…
“John Henry Mackay belonged to those who first meant for me the intellectual life, the modern. In him are united for me the concept of social-philosophical daring, and a love from which many a melodious song sprang, and which may also be the source of his daring.” — Thomas Mann
“One of the most distinguished and genuine figures in German literaure since the 1880’s.”— Hermann Hesse
“Mackay broke truly new ground as a writer through his commitment to the homosexual liberation movement. His most important works are Fenny Skaller and The Hustler.” — Edward MorninAbout the Author

Werner Blumenberg
Reissued in the year of the 150th anniversary of The Communist Manifesto, this classic biography of Karl Marx is unlike any other account of its subject.
Focusing as much on Marx’s private life as on his public persona and work, it looks in detail at his relationships with his mother and father, wife and friends, and includes generous quotations from a wide range of correspondence. Blumenberg examines Marx’s early writing as a schoolboy and his romantic poetry whilst a student, as well as his exchanges with close friend and collaborator Frederick Engels. In these pages are moving accounts of the privations of Marx’s poverty-stricken life in London and the tragedies which struck his family, as well as discussions of his intellectual development and political activity.
The book includes virtually every photograph in existence of Marx and his closest associates. A friend wrote of Marx when he was just twenty-four years old: ‘Imagine Rousseau,...Participatory Autonomy

After the New Economy
Doug Henwood”Fast, funny, and consistently merciless toward the purveyors of economic delusion and deception. I feel ten times smarter than I was before I read this book!” – Barbara EhrenreichRarely a day went by in the dizzy 1990s without some well-paid pundit heralding the triumphant arrival of a “New Economy.” According to these financial mavens, an unprecedented technological and organizational revolution had extinguished the threat of recession forever. Though much of the rhetoric sounds ridiculous today, few analysts have explored how the New Economy moment emerged from deep within America’s economic and ideological machinery—instead, they’ve preferred to treat it as an episode of mass delusion.
Now, with customary irreverence and acuity, journalist Doug Henwood dissects the New Economy, arguing that the delirious optimism was actually a manic set of variations on ancient themes, all promoted from the highest of places. Claims of New Eras have plenty of historical precedents; in this latest act,...
