A manifesto that engages a vital question of our time: Where should the Left go from here? Confronting the major debates in the world today &mdash; about national alternatives and alternative globalizations &mdash; Unger shows that there is a set of initiatives that we can begin to develop with the materials at hand. Fully updated with a new preface, <em>The Left Alternative</em> equips the Left with the ideas that it needs to overthrow the dictatorship of no alternatives.
