In 1993, Derrida opened a conference organized around the question 'Whither Marxism?', and it is his plenary address that forms the basis of this book. Hotly debated then, a changing world and world politic have scarcely dented its relevance today.
"Its importance within the Derridean canon cannot be overemphasized ... The text that scholars turn to ... to understand the politics of deconstruction."-Southern Humanities Review
"One of Derrida's best books."-New Statesman and Society
