The binomial "right / left" essential common currency of the political game in Western democracies, seems to have faded amid the collapse of traditional political affiliations from the late twentieth century. But if the distance between the right and the left have been reduced in the collective imagination, this waiver to disagree manifests just when global inequality scandal erupts in all its magnitude. So Forwards the exhaustion of the antithesis between right and left to a crisis of politics as such? How to recover under the new world disorder prevailing political space? And is it possible to rethink the left?
To reflect on the meaning of a later left to which he had, different but heir of that, and its possible definition in the context of a globalized world, also contributed the preface and interviews that accompany this trial. The "Red Chronology" which closes the volume reflects the major milestones in both Spanish and European and Latin American left since 1989, the year of the fall of the Berlin Wall until today.
