Half a century has passed since 1974, that is, from the fall of the junta and the transition to a state of bourgeois-parliamentary democracy. Since then, the concept of the Metapolitefsi has been widely used. However, how is this word understood? Do all agree on the content they give it? When is the end of the Metapolitefsi marked? How are these 50 years periodized? What economic, political, ideological, and social trends are recorded during this specific period and what are its main political events?

The book-research by Vasilis Liosis attempts to answer questions such as the above. For a better representation of the trends, hundreds of charts and tables are provided that visualize the emerging trends. The discussion about the Metapolitefsi has begun long before the completion of half a century. The perspectives do not coincide. Our view is always from the perspective of the world of labor, progressive thought, and the oppressed. So, if the book sparks a discussion in this world, then it will have achieved something, even if small.
