This year marks 25 years since Ernest Mandel died. Mandel (5 April 1923 – 20 July 1995) was one of the most significant Marxist economists of the second half of the twentieth century. To make his thinking accessible to a new generation, IIRE Amsterdam  is working on several new volumes of essays by Mandel.

Our new publication has arrived and is now available through our webshop. Recorded Fragments is a collection of interviews with Daniel Bensaïd, one of the most prominent Marxist philosophers in France in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century.

2015 is a landmark year in the history of Europe, of Greece and of the international left. In Greece and worldwide, many hoped the Syriza-led government would be able to break with the austerity imposed on Greece, a hope that was strengthened further by the victory of the 'no' in the referendum on new agreements with the Troika. But those hopes were quickly dashed.
