Books in red wrapping paper
Philosophy Football's Mark Perryman introduces his best left-wing books of 2012 for a hopeful materialist's seasonal gift list
Christmas time, not much peace in large parts of the world, precious little goodwill for the 99 per cent either. A time for turbo-driven commercialism to drive up retail's footfall. Bah Humbug? Or if you prefer, just put the Historical Materialism on one side for the season and embrace the Hopeful Materialism of looking forward to what might be wrapped up and waiting under the tree for 25 December.
