Marx and Keynes by Paul Mattick, a very clearly written Marxist take on the failure of keynesian policy to resolve the underlying crisis that broke apart laissez faire, and how those internal contradictions would bring about its collapse in turn. Goes into some detail on the history of Keynes and the evolution of his theories into the 'keynesian system' which is useful. It is excellent on all that stuff, though just now I'm going through Harry Cleaver's short book Reading Capital Politically and he makes the point about Mattick that he's over-economistic which I think is fair, and that what is missing is class struggle and how that pushed the development and implementation of keynesianism and ultimately its collapse. Which is true, although class struggle is present for example when he talks about technology and of course it is implicit in the whole subject, but it does get pushed into the background.
Which is where (though it's focused earlier) Family, Welfare, and the State by Mariarosa Dalla Costa helps to fill in the gap. Dalla Costa takes a broad view of the working class to see how struggle forced the New Deal/keynesianism and how the state in turn tried to incorporate and repurpose that struggle - 'the productivity deal', but looking outside the factories to the domestic workplace, families and the welfare system. I know Dalla Costa was part of the 70s Italian left around autonomism and that kind of stuff which I don't know much about, anyway, it's a short book that I think is excellent in its expansion and centering of the relation of class struggle as the driving dynamic of those developments.
I'd also recommend either or both of Burning Country by Robin Yassin-Kassab and Leila Al-Shami and Khiyana: Daesh, The Left & The Unmaking of the Syrian Revolution on the uprising and subsequent war in Syria. Yassin-Kassab & Al-Shami's book is basically a fairly straightforward account of it, while Khyiana is a collection of essays around the subject. Both books are angry, broadly leftist, and while they are supportive of the Syrian opposition, in particular its non military incarnation, I think they maintain a critical attitude to see both what has blunted the popular movement from within as well as outside factors that have limited it.
Hope that helps!
you're welcome
re the Malik it's probably because it's really really short so no one bothered to make a digital version. you could get the gist of it from any of the stuff about multiculturalism on his website tbh
his best I've read is From Fatwa to Jihad, don't know if you've read it but well worth a look if not
Yeah, I've seen that and have it on my list. I really need to inform myself about some racial politics though and I've always found kenan malik to have a crystalline thinking shorn of the flowery posturing found so often in political writing.
