From the jacket flap: per an article by Sunil Khilnani, "this is Castoriadis's 'most important work to date' providing a theoretical argument (made from the Left) for breaking with Marxism and laying the foundation for Castoriadis's own original political philosophy."
Incredibly relevant in today's world, perhaps even more so than when originally published.
