Description
Commonwealth by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri explores the possibilities for new forms of social organization in the era of globalization. Building on their earlier work, Empire and Multitude, this book proposes an ethics of freedom for living in our common world and articulates a possible constitution for our common wealth. Hardt and Negri examine scenarios from around the globe to identify the logic of institutions and models of governance that could support a global commonwealth. They argue for a new understanding of the relationship between private and public spheres, and propose a theoretical framework for "governing the revolution." This book is an accessible contribution to ongoing debates about politics and globalization, making it relevant to anyone interested in these topics. By extending their previous work and articulating a clear vision for a global commonwealth, Hardt and Negri offer a thought-provoking exploration of our shared world.
