It is a book that — Roger Waters, Pink Floyd could easily have been a song of despair – a lament of lost causes; it is, after all, a roll call of butchers and assassins; of plots against people’s movements and governments; of the assassinations of socialists, Marxists, communists all over the Third World by the country where liberty is a statue. WASHINGTON BULLETS

Despite all this, Washington Bullets is a book about possibilities, about hope, about genuine heroes. One such is Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso – also assassinated – who said: ‘You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future. It took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of those madmen. We must dare to invent the future.’ Vijay Prashad MONTHLY REVIEW PRESS Washington Bullets is a book infused with this madness, the madness that dares to invent the future.

Rob Wallace The COVID-19 pandemic shocked the world. It shouldn’t have. Since this century’s turn, epidemi- ologists have warned of new infectious diseases. Indeed, H1N1, H7N9, SARS, MERS, Ebola Makona, Zika, and a variety of lesser viruses have emerged almost annually. But what of the epidemiologists AVAILABLE NOW themselves?

Yet, $17.00 | £14.99 | $23.95Can despite their own warnings, many of the researchers appear unable to understand the true nature of the Cloth 978-1-58367-903-6 disease—as if they are dead to what they’ve seen. $89.00 | £70.00 | $124.95Can Dead Epidemiologists is an eclectic collection of commentaries, articles, and interviews revealing the hidden-in-plain-sight truth behind the pandemic: Global capital drove the deforestation and devel- opment that exposed us to new pathogens. Rob Wallace and his colleagues—ecologists, geogra- phers, activists, and, yes, epidemiologists—unpack the material and conceptual origins of COVID-19. From deepest Yunnan to the boardrooms of City, this book offers a compelling diagnosis of the roots of COVID-19, and a stark prognosis of what—without further intervention—may come unless we take radical actions now.

ROB WALLACE is an evolutionary epidemiologist with the Agroecology and Rural Research Corps. He is author of Big Farms Make Big Flu and coauthor of Clear- Cutting Disease Control: Capital-Led Deforestation, Public Health Austerity, and Vector- Borne Infection. He has consulted with the Food and Agriculture Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “In his brilliance and in the extraordinary depth, range, and courage of his thinking, Rob Wallace is unique. Dead Epidemiologists makes sense of the COVID-19 pandemic like no other work I’ve encountered anywhere. This is radical thinking in the very best sense. Written in perfect, pissed-off, punk-rock eloquence and fury.”—BEN EHRENREICH, AUTHOR, DESERT NOTEBOOKS: A ROAD MAP FOR THE END OF TIME

Cat2021.indd 2 1/13/2021 9:37:25 AM Marx, Dead and Alive in Precarious Times

Andy Merrifield Karl Marx saw the ruling class as a sorcerer, no longer able to control the ominous powers it has summoned from the netherworld. Today, in an age spawning the likes of Donald Trump and Boris John- son, our society has never before been governed by so many conjuring tricks, with collusions and AVAILABLE NOW conspiracies, fake news and endless sleights of the 192 pages economic and political hand. And yet, contends Paper 978-1-58367-879-4 Andy Merrifield, as our modern lives become ever $23.00 | £17.99 | $34.95Can more mist-enveloped, the works of Marx can help us penetrate the fog. Cloth 978-1-58367-880-0 In Marx, Dead and Alive—a book that begins $89.00 | £75.00 | $133.95Can and ends beside Marx’s recently violated London gravesite—Merrifield makes a spirited case for a critical thinker who can still offer people a route toward personal and social authenticity. Bolstering his argument with fascinating examples of literature and history, from Shakespeare and Beckett, to the Luddites and the Black Panthers, Merrifield demon- strates how Marx can reveal our individual lives to us within a collective perspective—and within a histori- cal continuum. Who we are now hinges on who we once were—and who we might become. This, at a time when our value-system is undergoing core “post-truth” meltdown

ANDY MERRIFIELD is an independent scholar and author of a dozen books, as well as numerous articles, essays, and reviews appearing in Monthly Review, , Harper’s Magazine, Review, The Guardian, Literary Hub, Jacobin, and Dissent.

“This enchanting portrait of Marx at work, with his legendary overcoat and shuffling ways, is brilliant, informative, and beautifully written. Merrifield then puts the insights he derives from reconnecting with Marx's writing to work to illuminate everything from the writings of Gogol and Dickens to the architectural disaster of New York's Hudson Yards.”—, AUTHOR, A COMPANION TO MARX’S CAPITAL

Cat2021.indd 3 1/13/2021 9:37:25 AM , the Present as Struggle Voices from the Bolivarian Cira Pascual Marquina and Chris Gilbert

Venezuela has been the stuff of frontpage news, especially since the death of Hugo Chávez. With predictable bias, mainstream media focus on violent clashes between opposition and government, coup attempts, hyperinflation, U.S. sanctions, and massive AVAILABLE NOW immigration. What is less known, however, is the 376 pages story of what the Venezuelan people—especially the Paper 978-1-58367-864-0 Chávista masses—do and think in these times of social $29.00 | £20.00 | $43.95Can emergency. This revolutionary grassroots movement Cloth 978-1-58367-865-7 still aspires to the communal path to that $89.00 | £75.00 | $133.95Can Chávez refined in his last years. Comprised of a series of compelling interviews conducted by Cira Pascual Marquina and contextualized by Chris Gilbert, the book seeks to open a window on grassroots Chávismo itself in the wake of Chávez’s death. Feminist and housing activists, communards, organic intellectuals, and campesinos from around the country speak up in their own voices, defending the socialist project and pointing to what they see as revolutionary solutions to Venezuela’s current crisis. If the Venezuelan government has shown an impressive capacity to resist imperialism, it is the Chavista grassroots movement, as this book shows, that actually defends socialism as the only coherent project of national liberation.

CIRA PASCUAL MARQUINA is Political Science professor at the Universidad Bolivariana de Venezuela in Caracas and a writer and editor for Venezuelanalysis.com. CHRIS GILBERT teaches Marxist political economy at the Universidad Bolivariana de Venezuela. His articles have appeared in Rebelion, LaHaine, Monthly Review, and CounterPunch. GILBERT and PASCUAL MARQUINA are creators of the Marxist educational program “Escuela de Cuadros,” broadcast on Venezuelan public television.

“Today more than ever, we need to listen to critical voices from the Venezuelan grassroots. The authors have gathered the tools we need to navigate the treacherous straits between state and movements, economic crisis and sanctions, and to chart a radical course toward socialism.”—GEORGE CICCARIELLO-MAHER, AUTHOR, BUILDING THE COMMUNE: RADICAL DEMOCRACY IN VENEZUELA

Cat2021.indd 4 1/13/2021 9:37:25 AM How to Read Marx's Capital Commentary and Explanations on the Beginning Chapters Michael Heinrich TRANSLATED BY ALEX LOCASCIO

Capital—Marx’s foundational nineteenth-century work on political economy—is by no means consid- ered an easily understood text. Central concepts such as abstract labor, the value-form, or the fetish- AVAILABLE AUGUST ism of commodities, can seem opaque to us as first- 448 pages time readers, and the prospect of comprehending Paper 978-1-58367-894-7 Marx’s thought can be truly daunting. Now, Michael Heinrich, who has spent a lifetime studying Marx's $28 .00 | £22.50 | $38.95Can texts, offers an illuminating new reading. Cloth 978-1-58367-895-4 Paragraph by paragraph, Heinrich provides exten- $89.00 | £80.00 | $124.95Can sive commentary and lucid explanations of ques- tions and quandaries that arise when encounter- ing Marx’s original text. Suddenly, such seemingly abstruse chapters as “The Labor Process and the Valorization Process” and “Money or the Circula- tion of Capital” become refreshingly clear. Deploy- ing multiple appendices referring to other pertinent writings by Marx, Heinrich reveals what is relevant about Capital, and why we need to engage with it today. How to Read Marx's Capital provides an indis- pensable guide to sorting through the cultural detri- tus of a world whose political and economic systems are simultaneously imploding and exploding.

MICHAEL HEINRICH taught economics for many years at the University of Applied Sciences in Berlin and was managing editor of PROKLA: Journal for Critical . He has written in depth on Marx’s critique of political economy. His books include Karl Marx and the Birth of Modern Society and An Introduction to the Three Volumes of Karl Marx’s Capital, perhaps the most popular introduction to Marx’s economic work in Germany.

WINNER, PAUL A. BARAN–PAUL M. SWEEZY MEMORIAL AWARD

Utsa Patnaik and Prabhat Patnaik Those who control the world’s commanding econ- omic heights, buttressed by the theories of main- stream , presume that capitalism is a self- contained and self-generating system. Nothing could AVAILABLE FEBRUARY be further from the truth. In this pathbreaking book, 424 pages radical political economists Utsa Patnaik and Prab- Paper 978-1-58367-890-9 hat Patnaik argue that the accumulation of capital | | has always required the taking of land, raw materials, $27.00 £20.00 $40.95Can and bodies from noncapitalist modes of production. Cloth 978-1-58367-891-6 They begin with a thorough debunking of mainstream $89.00 | £75.00 | $133.95Can economics. Then, looking at the history of capitalism, from the beginnings of colonialism half a millennium ago to today’s neoliberal regimes, they discover that, over the long haul, capitalism, in order to exist, must metastasize itself in the practice of imperialism and the immiseration of countless people. A few hundred years ago, write the Patnaiks, colo- nialism began to ensure vast, virtually free, markets for new products in burgeoning cities in the West. But even after slavery was generally abolished, millions of people in the Global South still fell prey to the continuing lethal exigencies of the marketplace. Even after the Second , when decolonization led to the end of the so-called “Golden Age of Capital- ism,” neoliberal economies stepped in to reclaim the Global South, imposing drastic “austerity” measures on working people. But, say the Patnaiks, this neolib- eral economy, which lives from bubble-to-bubble, is doomed to a protracted crisis. In its demise, we are beginning to see—finally—the transcendence of the capitalist system.

UTSA PATNAIK is professor emerita and PRABHAT PATNAIK is professor emeritus at the Centre for Economic Studies and Planning, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. Utsa’s books include The Agrarian Question in the Neoliberal Era and The Republic of Hunger and Other Essays. Prabhat’s books include Accumulation and Stability Under Capitalism, The Value of Money, and Re-envisioning Socialism.

Tom Wilber and Jerry Lembcke

As U.S. military personnel returned from Vietnam- ese captivity in 1973, became riveted by POW coming-home stories. Along with legends of lionized heroes, there were news leaks suggest- ing that others had denounced the war in return for favorable treatment. What wasn't acknowledged, AVAILABLE APRIL however, is that U.S. troop opposition to the war was vast and reached well into Vietnam's Hoa Loa 160 pages Prison. Half a century after the fact, Dissenting POWs Paper 978-1-58367-908-1 emerges to recover this history, and to discover what $19.00| £15.99 | $26.95Can drove their factionalism.

What they found was surprising: the class backgrounds of the captives and their pre-captive experience were decisive factors. After the war, the hardcore hero-holdouts—like John McCain—moved on to careers in politics and business, while the dissidents faded from view as the antiwar move- ment, that might otherwise have championed them, disbanded. Today, Dissenting POWs is a necessary myth-buster, disabusing us of the that has replaced actual GI resistance with images of suffering POWs—ennobled victims that serve to suppress the fundamental questions of America’s drift to endless war.

Cat2021.indd 8 1/13/2021 9:37:26 AM Sensing Injustice A Lawyer's Life in the Battle for Change

Michael E. Tigar

By the time he was 26, Michael Tigar was a legend in legal circles well before he would take on some of the highest-profile cases of his generation. In his first U.S. Supreme Court case—at the age of 28—Tigar won a unanimous victory that freed thousands of Vietnam War resisters from prison. Tigar also led the legal team that secured a judgment against the Pinochet regime for the 1976 murders of Pinochet opponent AVAILABLE JULY Orlando Letelier and his colleague Ronni Moffitt in a Washington, DC car bombing. He then worked with 512 pages the lawyers who prosecuted Pinochet for torture and Paper 978-1-58367-920-3 genocide. A relentless fighter of injustice—not only as $29.00 | £25.00 | $40.95Can a human rights lawyer, but also as a teacher, scholar, Cloth 978-1-58367-921-0 journalist, playwright, and comrade—Tigar has been $89.00 | £80.00 | $124.95Can counsel to , Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (H. Rap Brown), the Chicago Eight, and leaders of the , to name only a few. It is past time that Michael Tigar wrote his memoir. Sensing Injustice: A Lawyer's Life in the Battle for Change is a vibrant literary and legal feat. In it, Tigar weaves powerful legal analysis and wry observation through the story of his remarkable life. The result is a compelling narrative that blends law, history, and progressive politics. This is essential reading for lawyers, for law students, for anyone who aspires to bend the law toward change.

MICHAEL E. TIGAR has worked for over fifty years with movements for social change as a human rights lawyer, law professor, and writer. He has taught at law schools in the United States, France, South Africa, and Japan, and is Emeritus Professor at Duke Law School and American University Washington College of Law. He has authored or co- authored fourteen books, three plays, and scores of articles and essays.

“No one since Clarence Darrow has been in the middle of more of his generation's important legal battles than Mike Tigar. His memoir is must reading for those who wonder if law can still be exciting, heroic, and moral. Tigar proves it is, with wit, high style, and great stories.”—JOHN KEKER, PARTNER, KEKER & VAN NEST; FORMERLY IRANGATE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR

Cat2021.indd 10 1/13/2021 9:37:26 AM Value and Crisis Essays on in Japan SECOND EDITION

Makoto Itoh

Marxist economic thought has had a long and dis- tinguished history in Japan, dating back to the First World War. When interest in Marxist theory was virtu- ally nonexistent in the United States, rival schools of thought in Japan emerged, and brilliant debates took place on Marx’s Capital and on capitalism as it was developing in Japan. Forty years ago, Makoto Itoh’s AVAILABLE NOW Value and Crisis began to chronicle these Japanese 296 pages contributions to Marxist theory, discussing in partic- Paper 978-1-58367-898-5 ular views on Marx’s theories of value and crisis, and $29.00| £20.00 | $43.95Can problems of Marx’s theory of market value. Now, in Cloth 978-1-58367-899-2 a second edition of his book, Itoh deepens his study $89.00| £75.00 | $133.95Can of Marx’s theories of value and crisis, as an essential reference point from which to analyze the multiple crises that have arisen during the past four decades of neoliberalism. Itoh’s second edition demonstrates an even wider- ranging familiarity with major schools of Marxist thought, summarizing and assessing viewpoints of such theorists as Hilferding, Bauer, Kautsky, Bukharin, Lux- emburg, Grossman, Sweezy, the Japanese Marxist Kozo Uno, together with the relevant parts of Capital and a section on the 1930’s . Given today’s current emergencies of world capitalism and social- ism, says Itoh, we need to work together to resolve new global problems, articulating new issues of Marx’s theo- ries of value and crisis.

In March 2015, President Obama initiated sanctions against Venezuela, declaring a “national emergency with respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States posed by the situation in Venezuela.” Each year, the U.S. administration has repeated this claim. AVAILABLE JUNE But, as Joe Emersberger and Justin Podur argue, the 248 pages opposite is true: It is the U.S. policy of regime change Paper 978-1-58367-916-6 in Venezuela that constitutes an “extraordinary threat” $25.00| £18.99 | $34.95Can to Venezuelans. Tens of thousands of Venezuelans Cloth 978-1-58367-917-3 continue to die because of these ever-tightening U.S. $89.00 | £75.00 | $124.95Can sanctions, denying people daily food, medicine, and fuel. On top of this, Venezuela has, since 2002, been subjected to repeated coup attempts by U.S.-backed forces. In Extraordinary Threat, Emersberger and Podur tell the story of six coup attempts against Venezuela. This book deflates the myths propagated about the Venezuelan government’s purported lack of electoral legitimacy, scant human rights, and disastrous economic development record. Contrary to accounts in the corporate media, the real target of sustained U.S. assault on Venezuela is not the country’s claimed authoritarianism nor its supposed corruption. It is Chavismo, the prospect that twenty-first century socialism could be brought about through electoral and constitutional means. This is what the U.S. empire must not allow to succeed.

But, as “Demonstrates a sophisticated count of a commodity John Tully reminds us, theas vast terrain of rubberessen production has always been a site of struggle,- and the oppressed who toil closest to “the devil’s milk” in all its forms have never accepted their immiseration without a fight.

This book, the product of exhaustive scholarship carried out in many countries and on several continents, is destined to become a classic.

The Communist Manifesto $17.95 | PB2075 HISTORY | PHILOSOPHY Since its first publication twenty years ago, Eurocentrism has become a classic of radical thought. Written by one of the world’s foremost political economists, this original and provocative essay takes on one of the great “ideological deformations” of our time: Eurocentrism. Rejecting the dominant Eurocentric view of world histo- ry, which narrowly and incorrectly posits a progression from the Greek and Roman classical world to Christian feudalism and the European capitalist system, Amin EUROCENTRISM Karl Marx and Samir Amin presents a sweeping reinterpretation that emphasizes the crucial historical role played by the Arab Islamic world. Throughout the work, Amin addresses a broad set of concerns, ranging from the ideological nature of scholastic metaphysics to the meanings and shortcomings of contemporary Islamic fundamentalism.

Consistently subversive of the established pieties of the West, this book breaks new theoretical and historiographical ground by outlining a compelling non- Foreword by Paul M.
