Capital's Grave: Neofeudalism and the New Class Struggle - Jodi Dean
Details
"Taken as a whole, Capital’s Grave is a remarkable achievement. In a tightly
written 152 pages, Dean cracks open the question of whether capital’s laws of motion are giving way to new ones with insight and not a small bit of provocation. Dean’s book should be applauded for the conceptual clarity it brings to the questions it poses, its unflinching political commitment, and especially for repeatedly emphasising that capital is not a totalized global economy but an inconstant and indeed fragile social relation. [1]
"Capital’s Grave is not a cheerful book. It offers no blueprint, no romance of rupture. But it does something far more useful: it names the shape of the present and points to its fault lines. “We aren’t doomed to neofeudal stagnation and servitude,” she writes. “A better world is possible, if we fight for it.” Whether we call it feudal or not, the battle lines are drawn, and Dean has given us a map." [2]
