The Age of Capital: 1848-1875
In this book, Eric Hobsbawm chronicles the events and trends that led to the triumph of private enterprise and its exponents in the years between 1848 and 1875. Along with Hobsbawm's other volumes, this book constitutes and intellectual key to the origins of the world in which we now live. Although it pulses with great events--failed revolutions, catastrophic wars, and a global depression--The Age of Capital is most outstanding for its analyis of the trends that created the new order. With the sweep and sophistication that have made him one of our greatest historians, Hobsbawm indentifies this epoch's winners and losers, its institutions, ideologies, science, and religion.

Kuinka muuttaa maailmaa, E-bok
Yli 150 vuotta Pääoman julkaisemisen jälkeen vapaat markkinat tuottavat taloudellista epätasa-arvoa ja ympäristöllisen katastrofin. Ilmastonmuutos pakottaa pohtimaan maailman muuttamista. ”Filosofit ovat vain eri tavoin selittäneet maailmaa, mutta tehtävänä on sen muuttaminen”, vaati Karl Marx tasa-arvon edistämisen nimissä. Sittemmin kommunismi epäonnistui, marxilaisuus epäonnistui. Miksi? Nyt on aika arvioida uudelleen kapitalismin suurimman kriitikon - marxilaisuuden - perintö. Teoksessaan Kuinka muuttaa maailmaa arvostettu historiantutkija Eric Hobsbawm käsittelee marxilaisen ajattelun kehitystä ja vaikutuksia läpi historian aina tähän päivään asti. Kirjan näkökulma ylittää oppialojen väliset rajat, ja se on myös kriittinen katsaus marxilaisuuteen. Eric Hobsbawm (1917-2012) oli merkittävä brittiläinen historioitsija, joka tutki erityisesti teollisuuskapitalismia, sosialismia ja nationalismia. Hän syntyi Aleksandriassa, kävi koulunsa Wienissä, Berliinissä, Lontoossa ja Cambridgessa. Hän opetti Lontoon yliopiston Birkbeck Collegessa ja New Yorkin New School for Social Researchissa. Hänen laajasta tuotannostaan on suomennettu teokset Nationalismi (Vastapaino 1994), Äärimmäisyyksien aika - Lyhyt 1900-luku (Vastapaino 1999) ja Rosvot (Vastapaino 2005). Terävänä kirjoittajana tunnettu Hobsbawn sai useita palkintoja ja valittiin usean tieteellisen seuran jäseneksi (British Academy, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Royal Society in Literature).

The Communist Manifesto
A modern edition on the 150th anniversary of the Manifesto. The Communist Manifesto, drafted on the eve of the 1848 revolutions, is the most brilliant and incisive political text ever written; a work of great literary power as well as historical insight. Eric Hobsbawm, whose writing has brilliantly described the century and a half of history that has been both shaped and illuminated by the Manifesto, presents it here. As the 'age of extremes' draws to an end and capitalism seems everywhere to be triumphant, as it did one hundred and fifty years ago, Eric Hobsbawm critically appraises a work which, he argues, is now more timely than ever. Hobsbawm notes the curious fact that the Manifesto remained a subterranean text for many decades and did not circulate on a mass scale, or achieve a canonical status, until comparatively recently. He argues that only the complete unfolding of capitalism on a global scale in recent times allows us to take the full measure of Marx and Engels's truly
Massproducerade Traditioner
Eric J. Hobsbawm (1917--2012) var en av sin generations ledande historiker. Han har skrivit om arbetarrörelsen i England, om rebeller och banditer i Europa, om jazzen, om historieforskning m m. Flera av hans böcker finns översatta till svenska, främst då hans historiska översikt i fyra band om tiden från den industriella revolutionen till Sovjetunionens sammanbrott. Massproducerade traditioner är den kanske mest berömda av Hobsbawms skrifter i det mindre formatet. Här visar han sin skicklighet, överblick och elegans i analysen av hur traditioner skapas och sprids.

The Age of Extremes: A History of the World, 1914-1991
Dividing the century into the Age of Catastrophe, 1914-1950, the Golden Age, 1950-1973, and the Landslide, 1973-1991, Hobsbawm marshals a vast array of data into a volume of unparalleled inclusiveness, vibrancy, and insight, a work that ranks with his classics The Age of Empire and The Age of Revolution. In the short century between 1914 and 1991, the world has been convulsed by two global wars that swept away millions of lives and entire systems of government. Communism became a messianic faith and then collapsed ignominiously. Peasants became city dwellers, housewives became workers--and, increasingly leaders. Populations became literate even as new technologies threatened to make print obsolete. And the driving forces of history swung from Europe to its former colonies. Includes 32 pages of photos.
