Because of a large and valuable donation of books to the IIRE, the Institute is freeing up space in the library by putting a number of unneeded books on sale. In particular old copies of books, for which we also have more practical and newer copies, will be available at the store. It is online at http://amzn.to/IIREbk. Notable books include a copy of The German Ideology given by Hugo Dewer, a founder of British Trotskyism, to Trotsky's former secretary, Pierre Frank, during his wartime exile in Britain.

By IIRE Fellow Catherine Samary
European construction aroused popular aspirations, which were radically opposed to what is actually happening: aspirations for a continent that would resist antisocial policies while being open to the world, according to a democratic, social, ecological and solidarity-based logic... This was in particular what was hoped for in Eastern Europe, where the populations aspired to live better and more freely. Their hopes were profoundly disappointed, preparing the ground for xenophobic currents... Understanding what were the turns that history took, where things went wrong, understanding the present crisis is essential for the peoples to be able to re-appropriate their choices and thus their future.
