Description

Autonomy Capitalism, Class and Politics by David Eden explores one of the most dynamic terrains of political theory, known as 'Autonomist Marxism' or post-Operaismo. This approach has been associated with cutting-edge developments in politics and cultural practice, yet there is a lack of critical examination of its contemporary breadth. Eden examines three divergent manifestations of Autonomist Marxism - Antonio Negri, Paulo Virno, the Midnight Notes Collective, and John Holloway - to understand how each questions the nature of class and contemporary capitalism. He critiques each approach and draws out deeper common concerns, suggesting a novel rethinking of emancipatory praxis. This book provides valuable insight into current tensions and clashes within society and politics, offering a nuanced understanding of Autonomist Marxism and its implications for our understanding of class and capitalism.
