In this revised and extended essay on the philosophy of the fin de siecle, the historian Perry Anderson asks whether it is marxism or capitalism which is reaching its limit as the 20th century stumbles to a conclusion. He addresses "The Spectres of Marx" summoned up by Jacques Derrida, as well as interrogating the Hegelian "Spirit of History" developed by Francis Fukuyama. Perry Anderson is the author of "Lineages of the Absolutist State", "Passages from Antiquity to Feudalism" and "Considerations on Western Marxism".
