Reading history against the grain, Neil Faulkner reveals that what happened in the past was not predetermined. Choices were frequent and numerous. Different outcomes - liberation or barbarism - were often possible. Rejecting the top-down approach of conventional history, Faulkner contends that it is the mass action of ordinary people that drives great events. At the beginning of the 21st century - with economic disaster, war, climate catastrophe and deep class divisions - humans face perhaps the greatest crisis in the long history of our species. The lesson of A Marxist History of the World is that, since we created our past, we can also create a better future.Counterfire (Series)World historyMarxian historiographyWorld history.Marxian historiography.909Faulkner Neil915605MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786997703321A Marxist history of the world3688682UNINA
