Description
Capitalism has proven much more resilient than Marx anticipated, and the working class has hardly lived up to his hopes. What might a critique of the political economy of labour look like that critically reviews the experiences of the past 500 years while moving beyond Eurocentrism In Beyond Marx, 22 authors offer their thoughts on this question, both from a historical and theoretical perspective.
