商品描述

This volume brings together a diverse set of scholars to address the long theoretical, conceptual and political debate on the interpretation of "actually existing" socialism in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. While the major paradigms - totalitarianism, neo-totalitarianism, revisionism, post-revisionism, modernization, and the world-system analysis - are well known in the Western (English-language) literature, the concept of state socialism, which has strong theoretical roots in Hungary (going back to the works of György Lukács and István Mészáros) received less international attention. This book contributes to a productive discussion about viable alternatives to capitalism by introducing and theoretically elaborating on the concept and practice of state socialism, highlighting the historical significance of Hungary's experiment with the "new economic mechanism" of 1968. It generates a common point of reference for various generations of anti-systemic thinkers, scholars, and activists to move beyond Cold War simplifications and ideological divides, and contributes to the discussion about anti-capitalist alternatives, which are relevant today for the global left.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本卷匯集了一群多元的學者，旨在探討有關「實際存在的」社會主義在蘇聯和東歐的長期理論、概念及政治辯論。雖然在西方（英語文獻）中，總體主義、neo-totalitarianism、修正主義、後修正主義、現代化及世界體系分析等主要範式已廣為人知，但國家社會主義的概念卻較少受到國際關注，儘管它在匈牙利有著深厚的理論根基（可追溯至György Lukács和István Mészáros的著作）。本書透過引介並理論性地闡述國家社會主義的概念及實踐，為資本主義提供可行的替代方案，並突顯匈牙利在1968年進行的「新經濟機制」實驗的歷史意義。它為不同世代的反體系思想家、學者及活動家提供了一個共同的參考點，以超越冷戰時期的簡化與意識形態分歧，並促進有關反資本主義替代方案的討論，這些方案在當今全球左派中仍具相關性。
