Ernest Mandel was one of the most significant Marxists of the twentieth century. During his life, Mandel participated in anti-fascist resistance, played a leading role in the Fourth International, and assisted Che Guevara with socialist economic planning after the Cuban Revolution. For many socialists, Mandel's writings were their first encounter with Marxist theory and played an important role in their political education. In order to stimulate an interest in Mandel's writings, the International Institute for Research and Education (IIRE) has recently published the first volume of Mandel's selected works, Introduction to Marxist Theory. It is an excellent book for those who are new to Marxism and want to learn about Marxist economics, the theory of the state, imperialism, and revolutionary organisation.
