Description
Assembly by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri is a thought-provoking exploration of leaderless social movements and their potential for lasting change. In recent years, these movements have proliferated globally, achieving significant gains but also struggling to create a new, more democratic society. The authors argue that traditional forms of leadership are no longer desirable or possible, and instead propose a reversal of roles: leaders should focus on short-term action, while the multitude drives strategy. This book delves into the need for effective modes of assembly and decision-making structures that rely on broad democratic bases. By examining the challenges faced by these movements, Hardt and Negri aim to provide new insights into how social change can be achieved in a rapidly changing world.
