HUMPHREY McQUEEN special marxist lecture tour: "Behind the web of war" ---------------------------------------------- by www.Socialist-Alliance.org 2:46pm Sun Mar 30 '03 article#28597 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ tour leaflet incl. photo ] SOCIALIST ALLIANCE proudly presents HUMPHREY McQUEEN, Australia's most eminent Marxist historian and commentator Capitalism, imperialism, globalisation: "Behind the web of war" --------------------------------------------------------------- FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS NOW Humphrey McQueen has been interpreting Australian society and economy from a radical Marxist standpoint. From his groundbreaking 1970 essay "A New Britannia" through to his most recent work "The Essence of Capitalism" McQueen has consistently exposed the cherished myths of capitalist "civilisation" in Australia and the world. Is the world being plunged into the horrors of war simply because a clique of militaristic madmen has gained control of the White House? Or does the threat of permanent war have deeper roots? In this special lecture tour for Socialist Alliance McQueen lays bare the economic and political essence of the "globalised" world in which we live. You can't afford to miss McQueen's lively and illuminating analysis of why this world of wars and social and ecological crisis is the way it is.
