A conceptual framework for the Third Way
A mini-encyclopaedia to support the discussion on the so-called Third Way, which can also be used to guide other studies of the contemporary social problems.
A MEGA hit
After eight years silence, one of the most ambitious publishing enterprise of history resurrected: it is the publication of the works of Marx and En-gels that began in 1975.
The first ten years of Eszmelet
No. 43 | (Autumn 1999)
The system change and also Eszmélet has its 10 year anniversary. To celebrate it we have organised an international conference on September 24-26, 1999 at Kossuth Klub, Budapest. Some of the speakers (Kate Hudson, Stephen Eric Bronner, Peter Gowan and Elmar Altvater) have sent us their contribution in advance that can be read in the current issue as well as the study sent to us by Immanuel Wallerstein.
One of the major topics of our ten year past was the problem of the “third way”, now discussed by Hungarian experts in this issue.

Sicness onto death – International communism before the Flood
The Central and East-European societies overthrew their Communist governments in the name of republicanism, though the latter was a part of the original socialist idea. The relations between socialism and democracy are still undiscovered, despite the fact that a decade has gone since the fall of the Berlin wall. It seems that communism has lost the trust that had been invested in it for being an emancipatory alternative to capitalism. This is the point to start the reconstruction of the left for the 21st century.
