Features: After the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the upheaval in Eastern Europe, the socialist cause pioneered by Lenin suffered significant setbacks, and Marxism faced considerable difficulties abroad. However, Marxism is indomitable. Many left-wing scholars overseas overcame numerous obstacles to persist in their pursuit and research, achieving remarkable academic accomplishments. This book reflects only a fragment of these achievements; in the issue of market socialism, scholars from the UK and the US engaged in fierce debates between support and opposition; regarding the problem of exploitation, American scholars proposed a non-labor value theory of exploitation; on the issue of neo-imperialism, scholars abroad conducted a profound analysis of the essence and ambitions of neo-imperialism led by the United States; in response to the new Cold War strategy of imperialism, we should be vigilant against the sinister intentions of neo-imperialism's "color revolutions"; in the study of Marxism, postmodernist theorists introduced the concept of "post-Marxism" and conducted research on a series of related issues, with "critical symbolic economics" and "postmodern feminism" being two examples; on the issue of future socialism, scholars abroad proposed several models and envisioned political democracy. The authors of this book provide a critical interpretation of these achievements, from which readers will gain profound insights and rich rewards.
