{"product_id":"9781642591620","title":"The Austrian Revolution by Otto Bauer","description":"This is the story of the decline and fall of an empire, a region devastated by war, and a world stage fundamentally transformed by the Russian Revolution. Bauer's magisterial work - available in English for the first time in full - charts the evolution of three simultaneous, overlapping revolutionary waves: a national revolution for self-determination, which brought down imperial Austro-Hungary; a bourgeois revolution for parliamentary republics and universal suffrage; and a social revolution for workers' control, factory councils, and industrial democracy.   The brief but crowning achievement of Red Vienna, alongside Bauer's unique theorization of an \"integral socialism\" - an attempted synthesis of revolutionary communism and social democracy - is a vital part of the left's intellectual and historical heritage. Today, as movements once again struggle with questions of reform or revolution, political strategy, and state power, this is a crucial resource. Bauer tells the story of the Austrian Revolution with all the immediacy of a central participant, and all the insight of a brilliant and original theorist.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312708039029,"sku":"9781642591620","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781642591620.jpg?v=1762823403","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781642591620","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
