Reflections on the inheritance of a revolutionary humanist of the 20th century
The article presents Michel Löwy's La pensée de Che Guevara. Un humanisme révolutionnaire. The world has changed since the first 1969 edition of this book. The author however believes that Che's moral standing and his commitment to human dignity and liberty is a living message to our generation even in the age of "the end of history."

No. 38 | (Summer 1998)
This issue of Eszmélet addresses on three main topics. First, the analysis of revolution started in the previous issue continues but now focuses on the 20th century. In addition to the revolution in Russia the articles mostly examine the events in Latin America, recalling the memory of Che Guevara many times. Second, the role and fate of the working class in Hungary and other parts of the world in the 20th century history and present day reality. Third, several articles examine the popular myths of neoliberal economic policy, the East European variations of these myths and also presenting possible alternatives to them.
