The Algebra of Revolution is the first book to study Marxist method as it has been developed by the main representatives of the classical Marxist tradition, namely Marx and Engels, Luxembourg, Lenin, Lukacs, Gramsci and Trotsky. This book provides the only single volume study of major Marxist thinkers' views on the crucial question of the dialectic, connecting them with pressing contemporary, political and theoretical questions. John Rees's The Algebra of Revolution is vital reading for anyone interested in gaining a new and fresh perspective on Marxist thought and on the notion of the dialectic.

'Rees's sophisticated ananlysis of dialectics, from Hegel through to the classical Marxists, is both challenging and rewarding ... (the) book admirably conveys the passion and excitement, and the pleasure of dialectics. - Contemporary Politics
