Editorial Reviews

Review

‘Sean Craven’s book-length treatment of the over-lapping fields of Marxism and critical realism is … an intervention into a much debated set of questions over which there is little agreement. This, in itself, makes his work an important contribution, to be welcomed and engaged with by non-Marxist critical realists, Marxist critical realists, and non-critical-realist Marxists alike.’ – Historical Materialism

‘This is a bold and ambitious work which engages in detail and at length in a wide variety of issues and literatures.’ – Historical Materialism
