The Accumulation of Freedom brings together economists, historians, theorists, and activists for a first-of-its-kind study of anarchist economics. The editors aren't trying to subvert the not...

Capital and Affects: The Politics of the Language Economy - Christian Marazzi
Communication as work: we have recently experienced a profound transformation in the processes of production.

The Politics of Comibined and Uneven Developement: The Theory of Permanent Revolution - Michael Löwy
Löwy's book is the first attempt to analyze, in a systematic way, how the theories of uneven and combined development, and of the permanent revolution—inseparably linked—emerged in the writings of thinkers such as Karl Marx and Leon Trotsky. Such radical reflections permit us to understand modern economic development across continents as a process of ferocious change, in which "advanced" and...

Rich People Things: Real Life Secrets of the Predator Class, Updated Edition - Chris Lehmann
In Rich People Things, Chris Lehmann lays bare the various dogmas and delusions that prop up plutocratic rule in the post-meltdown age. It's a humorous and harrowing tale of warped populism, phony reform, and blind deference to the nation's financial elite. As the author explains, "American class privilege is very much like the idea of sex in a Catholic school—it's not supposed to exist in the f...
