Whether addressing economic decline and class struggle, the Cuban Missile Crisis, or the politics of empire, Hall\'s singular commentary and theorizations make this volume essential for anyone interested in the politics of the last sixty years.
Written between 1957 and 2011 and appearing in publications such as New Left Review and Marxism Today, these twenty Essays span the whole of Hall\'s career, from his early involvement with the New Left, to his critique of Thatcherism, to his later focus on neoliberalism.
