LIQUID MODERNITY AND REEVALUATION OF MARX

Abstract

The former Eastern Block countries are experiencing a post Communist, the Third World ones – a postcolonial and the ones from the First World – a postindustrial development. And yet we all, in one way or another, co-exist in the post-modern world. The problem of post-capitalist perspective revives the interest in Marx’s theoretical heritage. Is there a reason to speak of the “Phoenix effect”. The liquid society contains a historical filter that sifts out some, and adds new value to other of Marx’s theses.
