Louis Althusser was born in Algeria in 1918 and died in France in 1990.

His books include "For Marx"; "Reading Capital" (with Etienne Balibar); "Essays in Ideology"; "Politics and History: Montesquieu, Rousseau, Marx"; "Machiavelli and Us"; and "The Spectre of Hegel." Gregory Elliott is a member of the editorial collective of Radical Philosophy and author of "Althusser: The Detour of Theory" and "Labourism and the English Genius: The Strange Decay of Labour England?."
Althusser, poised between modernism and postmodernism, meets Machiavelli, poised between the Middle Ages and modernity.A" Antonio Negri
