Bauer's magisterial work—available in English for the first time in full—charts the evolution of three simultaneous, overlapping revolutionary waves: a national revolution for self-determination, which brought down imperial Austro-Hungary; a bourgeois revolution for parliamentary republics and universal suffrage; and a social revolution for workers' control, factory councils, and industrial democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe brief but crowning achievement of Red Vienna, alongside Bauer's unique theorisation of an \"integral socialism\"—an attempted synthesis of revolutionary communism and social democracy—is a vital part of the left's intellectual and historical heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday, as movements once again struggle with questions of reform or revolution, political strategy, and state power, this is a crucial resource. Bauer tells the story of the Austrian Revolution with all the immediacy of a central participant, and all the insight of a brilliant and original theorist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849992392940,"sku":"9781642591620","price":66.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/22906323482772.jpg?v=1759073119","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-austrian-revolution-by-otto-bauer-9781642591620","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
