Wright, a brilliant scholar and Marxist thinker, has not just taught us so much about #class, exploitation and power, he has also envisioned way to democratic and egalitarian alternatives to #capitalism. Erik Olin Wright was passionately and equally earnest about intellectual rigour and political relevance.
