Publisher Description: Soon, Cities of Power: The Urban, the National, the Popular, and the Global by G ran Therborn will be on the market. In between Science, Class and Society (1976) and The Killing Fields of Inequality (2013) G ran has consistently challenged received wisdom in politics and the social sciences. His Between Sex and Power (2004) is the current global map of family relations and gender equality. With the 1968 article 'From Petrograd to Saigon' he laid the foundation for his worldwide reputation as an innovative public intellectual. His critique of the Frankfurt School had repercussions around Europe. Today his work is spread across six continents, Latin America in particular, and has been translated into more than twenty languages. This book is a critical appraisal of the themes G ran Therborn has pursued up till now, and is introduced by Robin Blackburn, for almost twenty years his editor at New Left Review. 'G ran's continual alertness to different paths to or through modernity, and to varieties of capitalism, will very soon be tested in a dramatic way.' - Ian Gough, London School of Economics 'This is a very important project and G ran richly deserves it.' - Michael Burawoy, UC Berkeley CONTENTS: INTRODUCTIONS Robin Blackburn, 'G ran Therborn and the Old Mole' Sven Hort & Gunnar Olofsson, 'A Portrait of the Sociologist as a Young Rebel' SECTION I.
