Democracy against Capitalism : Renewing Historical Materialism

Rating:
Summary: Revolutionary thinking
Review: I learned what everyone else did in school: Communism bad, Capitalism good. But this book made me rethink my personal definitions of what politics is, and makes a really good argument that civic equality can not survive when paired with a vastly unequal capitalistic economy that--by definition--creates have's and have-not's. My whole worldview changed after I read this! Very technical, though, as she critiques other Marxists' and socialists' writings.

Summary: training
Review: secretaries are now called administrative professionals. One should not undervalue any job - page 286 - those who do this job know that it is very valued. Will have to re-read this book as it has interesting undertones.
