One that you might like is The Austrian Revolution by Otto Bauer.

Otto Bauer's magisterial work, available in English for the first time,

is the definitive examination of Eastern Europe's revolutionary period and the unique working class

experiment of Red Vienna. This epic history charts the evolution of three simultaneous

overlapping revolutionary waves, which took place in Eastern Europe in the midst of the decline

and fall of an empire, the devastation of the First World War, and the transformation of global

politics in the wake of the Russian Revolution. Bauer provides the unique exploration of both the

internal dynamics of a revolution and the costs of defeat, as well as a rich introduction to

Austro-Marxism. You can order that at haymarketbooks.org. The Austrian Revolution by Otto Bauer,

Welcome to The Dig, a podcast from Jacobin Magazine. My name is Daniel Denver and I'm broadcasting

from Providence, Rhode Island. Why are so many private sector workers striking right now at this

late moment in the long pandemic? What about the high-quit rate? Does so many workers quitting their

jobs reflect worker power or organized labor's weakness in a moment of crisis? Or both? Are we in

a strike wave? And what does the fight for union democracy have to do with building union and

worker power? What does it mean for worker power now that just in time supply chains have come

crashing down to earth now that the world is no longer so flat? This dig is guest hosted by past

and future dig guest Gabe Wynett, featuring past dig guests, labor journalists Alex Press and

Jonah Furman, as well as IOTC member Victor Busy. Before we get rolling, I really do want to pause

and implore you to support The Dig at patreon.com slash The Dig with a financial contribution.
