Reviews

"Paul Cockshott's How the World Works is an important contribution to historical materialism, complementing Marx and Engel's classic analyses of labour and wealth with a systematic account of how economies and societies are shaped by energy sources and technologies. With a strong focus on transitions from early societies to contemporary capitalism, Cockshott's dispassionate appraisal of "actually existing socialism," and sober exploration of plausible communist futures, offer promising new directions for progressive politics."--Greg Michaelson, Emeritus Professor of Computer Science, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland
