The Legacy of Ernest Mandel

Ernest Mandel (1923-1995) was a member of what is now a very rare breed: he was a theorist of an activist Marxism. Leader of the international Trotskyist movement, lifelong revolutionary, and scholar of world renown, Mandel was one of those few individuals who combined the untiring activism of a political leader with intellectual work that commands the respect of the academy.
