Book, Strategies for a rational left[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. Eric Hobsbawm criticizes the sectarian, fundamentalist and emotional left that has alienated the popular masses from themselves. How can we defeat a reactionary administration that intends to destroy all the social achievements of the working class? How can we stop a government that has apparently uncontrollable centralized power in its hands? In Margaret Thatcher's England, Eric Hobsbawm poses these questions and defends, against the sectarian and emotional left, a negotiated solution: the union of all oppositions in a broad front. A controversial book in its origins, Strategies for a rational left, although focused on the English case of the 1980s, it presents essential reflection material for progressive forces of any latitude. “Eric Hobsbawm is one of Britain's most creative Marxist historians. Anyone who teaches in schools or universities is aware of the effect of his writings […]. Hobsbawm causes this effect because he is able to find a dynamic and yet comprehensible movement in History. – Ross McKibbin, historian, The London Review of Books.
