This collection of essays is a tribute to the academic and political work of John Foster, for his contribution to Marxist historiography and political economy over the past 50 years. Some of the chapters are retrospective reflections on the major themes of his writing, while others analyse its current practical application in raising political understanding around the national question, state power and imperialism.
