Reviews

Deeply grounded in philosophy and Marxist theory, Sheehan shows in plain language that the leadership of SYRIZA proved vacuous in theory and opportunist in practice. Her intellectual and political honesty will be a benchmark in the debate in the coming years. -Costas Lapavitsas, Professor of Economics at University of London, Syriza MP from January to August 2015"
