Today, leftist movements the world over are in serious decline.

Should this be seen as a symptom of the “erasure of the egalitarian imagination,” which has been the primary driving force of the left worldwide since its birth in the 18th century? That is the troubling hypothesis this book puts forth.

With his customary brio and political commitment, Shlomo Sand rises to the challenge of delivering a brief and accessible world history of the left for general readers while also advancing original hypotheses at a time when we must all do our utmost to rekindle the “egalitarian imagination.”
