State, Power, Socialism

Nicos Poulantzas was born in Athens in 1936 and died in Paris in 1979. His other published works include Political Power and Social Classes, Classes in Contemporary Capitalism, The Crisis of Dictatorships and State, Power, Socialism.

"It is Poulantzas's great virtue to have seen so clearly that an adequate Marxist theory of politics must be able to deal with just those phenomena which non-Marxists have regarded as decisive refutations of Marxism."--"Times Literary Supplement"
