Austro-Marxism: The Ideology of Unity
Austro-Marxist Theory and Strategy. Volume 1
Series: - Historical Materialism Book Series, Volume: 109
This volume offers the essential theoretical thought of the Austro-Marxist thinkers Otto Bauer, Max Adler, Karl Renner, Friedrich Adler, Rudolf Hilferding, and Otto Neurath over the span of their Austrian Social-Democratic careers, from the decades before World War I until the mid-1930s. Austro-Marxist theoretical perspectives were conceived as social scientific tools for the issues that faced the development of socialism in their time. The relevance of their thought for the contemporary world inheres in this understanding.
Mark E. Blum, Ph.D. (1970), University of Pennsylvania, is a Professor of History at the University of Louisville, Kentucky. He published books, monographs and articles on European socialism, including The Austro-Marxists,1890-1918: A Psychobiographical Study (University of Kentucky, 1985).
William Smaldone, Ph.D. (1989),SUNY at Binghamton, is Professor of History at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. He published monographs and articles on the history of European socialism, including, most recently, European Socialism: A Concise History with Documents (Rowman and Littlefield, 2013).
