Ernest Mandel biography

The Belgian economist Ernest Mandel (1923-1995) was an undogmatic Marxist thinker and radical politician, who had an important influence on the "68 generation". Mandel enjoyed widespread international recognition as author and theoretician, and has been officially barred from several countries in both the West and the East. His writings have been translated into more than 40 languages. Jan Willem Stutje has been the first person to access Mandel’s archives and had talked to numerous people who interacted with Mandel.
