International Socialism # 121

Like the forthcoming issue of Socialist Review, the new issue of International Socialism went to press before Israel decided to try and wipe Gaza off the map, but it has had time to respond properly now to what it calls the 'trillion dollar crash' of last year, with a lead article by Chris Harman on The Slump of the 1930s and the crisis today. There are also a host of other articles ranging from Megan Trudell on Obama's election (and also one on what Leon Trotsky might have made of it) to Bill Dunn on myths of globalisation, plus others article ranging from classical music to the early Marxism of philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre. Last but very far from least Neil Davidson responds to Chris Nineham on the small matter of Walter Benjamin.
