PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Bill Warren (1935-1978) was a British Communist, originally a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain and later a contributor to New Left Review. In his last years he was a member of the British and Irish Communist Organization. He is best remembered as the author of Imperialism: Pioneer of Capitalism. This unconventional Marxist analysis was published posthumously in 1980 and is still being debated.
Warren's polemic lets a welcome gust of fresh air into a Marxist literature which has become little more than a cosy exercise in mutual reinforcement ... This is the heaviest blow yet struck at dependency theory and all its antecedents. -- MERIP <br><br> This book is likely to be the centre of theoretical, empirical and political controversy for some years to come. -- Third World Quarterly <br><br> Bill Warren's study of imperialism is clearly one of the most stimulating and compelling books of recent years. -- Worker's Life <br><br> This book, clearly written, original in content and logic, iconoclastic and tightly argued, presents a compelling challenge to many of the chief tenets of contemporary liberal and Marxist thinkers/activists. -- Humboldt Journal of Social Relations
