Description

Nicos Poulantzas's Classes in Contemporary Capitalism is a seminal work that explores the fundamental aspects of class structure in advanced capitalist societies. The book begins with a theoretical essay that distinguishes between the "agents" and "positions" of capitalist relations of production, avoiding common pitfalls of functionalism and historicism. Poulantzas then offers a polemical reconsideration of the nation-state as a political unit today, its relationship to internationalization of capital, and develops a powerful analysis of the concept of petty-bourgeoisie. He distinguishes between traditional and new categories of petty-bourgeoisie, demonstrating why a unitary conceptualization of their class position is possible. The book ultimately assesses the actions and options of the petty-bourgeoisie, highlighting their critical role in any successful struggle by the working class.
