520			_a"Arif Dirlik examines fundamental premises and critiques of Marxist thinking in the context of emerging transnational economies and the collapse of socialist states. In rethinking the contemporary relevance of Marxist notions of socialist, political, and historical critiques, Dirlik counters orthodox understandings of Marxism that tie it to [nonmodern] and ineffective state-centered economies. He argues that because Marxism emerged and developed alongside capitalism, to which it has both conceptual and historical links, it should be regrounded in today's global, social, political, and economic reality -- that has radically transformed classical views of political economy. Using an an example the transformation of Marxism in China, which produced a Marxism free from Eurocentrist "ideological hegemony of the capitalist mode of production," he raises a crucial question now facing Marxist ideology: can Marxism conceptually transcend capitalist society, or is it limited in its critical capabilities by the boundaries of capitalism? The collapse of the socialist states may hold part of the answer, for it "releases Marxism from ideological servitude to authoritarian bureaucracies, and provides a new opportunity for theoretical consideration and development." He concludes with a look at oppositional practices appropriate to the conditions created by Global Capitalism." -- back cover.
