The Violence of Abstraction
My 1987 book The Violence of Abstraction: The Analytic Foundations of Historical Materialism has long been out of print, and used copies are now listed on amazon at prices from £400 upward.
In the interests of open access, I have now made the entire text available (in three separate files) for free download at academia.edu
