Old Gods, New Enigmas

In "Old Gods, New Enigmas," Mike Davis reexamines Karl Marx's relevance for contemporary society through a series of thought-provoking essays. Davis argues that Marx's insights into revolutionary leadership and the environmental crisis resonate deeply with today's challenges. By mining labor history and Marx’s lesser-known texts, he reveals a "lost Marx" that critiques current views of the anthropocene and connects capitalism to global employment issues. The book culminates by reflecting on historical debates regarding socialist urbanism, seeking solutions for achieving a sustainable, high-quality life for all.
