In the wake of a recent string of “breakthrough” election results for Germany’s Left Party, Prof. Frank Deppe and Ingar Solty will reflect on the way in which these outcomes are transforming the political scene in both Germany and Europe.
Frank Deppe is a Professor-Emeritus at Germany’s Marburg University and has been one of the leading Marxist intellectuals and political activists in West Germany since the 1960’s. Prof. Deppe has published extensively on labour, politics, Eurocapitalism and the global political economy.
Ingar Solty, while doing a PhD in Political Science at York, is a frequent contributor to the journal Das Argument in Germany, where his seminal paper on neoliberalism and the rise of the Left Party was originally published and is now forthcoming in English in the journal Socialism and Democracy.
