Ernest Mandel was one of the leading Marxist intellectuals of the 20th century. His impact on the generation of the Sixties extended way beyond his political affiliation to the Fourth International. The SDS in Germany and its US equivalent read his work avidly. In France, too, all his key writings were published and debated. His pamphlet ‘An Introduction to Marxist Economic Theory’ sold a quarter of a million copies worldwide and his master-work Late Capitalism (published by Verso) was debated on every continent.
This interview with Tariq Ali was conducted in 1987. The plan was to make a 90-minute film on his life and work, but the project faltered and the interview is one of the few remnants. Mandel’s rediscovery is overdue.
