[The world and the left] In this article, Göran Therborn takes a broad view of the world and the left today and compares the new century with the previous one. The 20th century was shaped by two great systemic dialectics, industrial capitalism and capitalist colonialism, which in all their devastation nevertheless strengthened their exploited parts so that the labour movement and colonial liberation movements could pave the way for historic human advances in living standards, life expectancy, democracy, freedom, gender emancipation and decolonization. The 21st century looks considerably bleaker with accumulating disasters and without any dialectical direction even for elementary human development. From this vantage point, Therborn tries to understand the conditions for the myriad new lefts of the 21st century and their innovative responses to the major challenges we face: the looming climate catastrophe, the new world of imperial geopolitics and the abysmal economic inequalities among an increasingly interconnected humankind. What are the prospects for the ideas of the left? Publication history: Translation of the article “The world and the left” in New Left Review , issue 137 (2022).
