Abstract
Ralph Miliband made an enormous contribution to the revival and development of Marxist political thought in the second half of the last century, through a range of books and articles, from Parliamentary Socialism (1961) to the posthumously published Socialism for a Sceptical Age (1994b). These works stand as important statements and explorations of core concepts and theoretical claims drawn from classical Marxism, and as attempts to develop and apply Marxist analysis to understand and intervene in the shifting economic and political conditions of his time. But what of our time? Does Miliband’s work still help us to understand and intervene in the world of the 21st century?
