Eric Hobsbawm has died earlier today at the age of 95. I'm sure most history students will have come across his brilliant books on the history of the Industrial Revolution and of the Twentieth century. Sad to see one of the last real Marxist intellectuals go - especially one who was so eminently sensible and practical in his dissection of industrial developments that have so often been perceived through tinted lenses.
