• Original title: Teorija za politiko

The author attempts to determine what the central practical questions of our historical moment are and how we are supposed to tackle them. He shows how “transition” deepened the inequalities and sharpened social tensions, as well as how the ideology of “reconciliation” with the past collaboration helped to strengthen the position of the new political class. He explains why the liberal state stops being liberal when faced with the “threats” of social alternatives. He proves that, with the war on “terror”, the current world masters only prolong the agony of capitalism. Those who are not indifferent about how we are going to live tomorrow and those who would like to intervene in the world of injustice and repression today will find in the book ample food for thought and perhaps also an incentive for action.
