Trotsky Week
August 29, 2010 by kirstyjane
We’ll be talking about Trotsky every day this week as our contributors give their opinions on everything from Trotsky’s literary merit and ideological influence to the value – or otherwise – of his ideas about economic planning. Join us every day for another perspective on one of the most fascinating, eloquent and provocative characters in modern history.
On Monday, Geoffrey Swain opens the discussion with a few remarks about Trotsky.
On Tuesday, Ian Thatcher answer’s Kirsty’s questions about the rewards and challenges of being a Trotsky scholar.
On Wednesday, regular Bookfox Michael Carley reviews Leon Trotsky on Britain.
On Thursday, Kirsty speaks with Chris Ward about Trotsky’s literary value.
On Friday, in an exclusive interview, Tariq Ali tells us exactly what he thinks about Trotsky, Trotskyism and the tasks of the activist Left.
And on Saturday, Kirsty introduces a priceless resource for anyone interested in Trotsky – the Lubitz TrotskyanaNet – and gives her own closing remarks.
