Following the disappearance of the Soviet Union, scholars across the political spectrum tackled the world-historical significance of the end of communism.

Gregory Elliott argues that Marx is central to all three accounts and that, along with the Manifesto, they form a quartet of analyses of the results and prospects of capitalism and socialism, which are of enduring significance for the Left.
