Ted Grant’s writings from this period, in which he analyses the new global order arising out of the aftermath of WWII, are a testament to the power of Marxist theory.

The end of the war was a major turning point in world history. Here, the ground was prepared for a new period of capitalist upswing, the hegemony of American imperialism, as well as the strengthening of Stalinism in Eastern Europe.

The leaders of the Fourth International, after Trotsky’s murder in 1940, proved incapable of correctly analysing the new phenomena that had been thrown up after the war. They clung on to Trotsky’s pre-war perspectives of imminent capitalist collapse. Ted Grant alone defended the Marxist method and applied it to the new developments following the war.

80 years later, this postwar order is crumbling before our eyes. For Marxists seeking to develop an understanding of where the world today is headed, the writings collected in this volume are indispensable.

Alongside Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Trotsky, the work of Ted Grant is the foundation on which we build the forces of revolutionary communism today in the RCI. This new volume, alongside the two preceding volumes, is an invaluable addition to any revolutionary’s bookshelf.
