Book Reviews: The Longer View
Abstract
IT IS NOW BECOMING increasingly fashionable amongst members of the Australian New Left to deride “dry, old marxists” whilst making complimentary grunts about the brilliance of such doyens of the Yippie Left as Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffmann. The persons who express such views, as well as being largely unfamiliar with the work of the classical Marxists they so easily dismiss, are also unaware of the important contributions made bymore contemporary Marxist scholars. This collection of essays, far from being dry or non-eclectic in the range of subject it discusses, deserves study, not only by the members of the New Left, but by those more of Baran’s generation.
