About the author

Rosa Luxemburg

Polish-German revolutionary Marxist whose The Accumulation of Capital extended Marx's economic analysis and whose Reform or Revolution debated the strategy of the socialist movement. Her passionate defense of spontaneous mass action against Leninist party discipline remains the touchstone of left-communist thought. She was murdered by right-wing soldiers.
