Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A profound class struggle account of the historic and ongoing crises of capitalism from the preeminent anticapitalist philosopher George Caffentzis.George Caffentzis has been the leading philosopher of the anticapitalist movements for over a half-century. With unrivaled clarity and political sharpness, his “reading of the struggles” offer anticapitalist movements worldwide a way of thinking and speaking about capitalism that points to the autonomy and resistance driving its crises, and the points of connection between different sectors of the planetary struggles that result in greater class power in their resistance to capital and in their creation of post-capitalist worlds in common.More than an explanation of historical events or an interpretation of the present crises, wars, and devastations wrought by capitalist accumulation, these writings are weapons meant to advance the political thinking, strategies and actions of those who struggle to defend their livelihoods, dignity, and autonomy from capital’s exploitation and its destruction.Organized around key themes of his life’s work, this collection brings the militant writings and scholarship of the planetary class struggle’s most profound thinker together for the first time.
