"A new perspective on the political significance of the Hegelian dialectical legacy"--Provided by publisher.

The book critiques the celebration of competition as a societal value, highlighting how neoliberal principles can deepen societal divisions by creating winners and losers. By examining W. E. B. Du Bois's later writings, Andrew J. Douglas offers a reevaluation of competition, challenging prevailing notions and encouraging a more nuanced understanding of its implications in contemporary society. This thoughtful exploration invites readers to reconsider the true cost of competitiveness in a world increasingly defined by market-driven ideals.

Shining new light on Martin Luther King's largely implicit economic and political theories, and expanding appreciation of the Black radical tradition to which he belonged, Andrew Douglas and Jared Loggins reconstruct, develop, and carry forward King's strikingly prescient critique of capitalist society.
