Author: Ewa Czerwinska Schupp

This book offers an in-depth intellectual and political biography of Otto Bauer, a leading figure of Austro-Marxism and one of the most influential socialist theorists of the early 20th century. Ewa Czerwińska-Schupp examines Bauer’s contributions to Marxist theory, his views on nationalism and democracy, and his political role in Austria’s First Republic. The work also explores the tensions between theoretical ideals and practical political challenges faced by Bauer throughout his career, including the dramatic historical context leading up to his exile and death in 1938.
