Revolutions of Capitalism - The Politics of the Event

Following in the intellectual tradition of Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, Michel Foucault, Karl Marx, and others, Maurizio Lazzarato's Revolutions of Capitalism charts the changing conditions of twenty-first-century neoliberal capitalism and the strategies needed to challenge them. Originally published in French in 2004, this newly translated work attempts to define a radical political, social, and ontological theory around questions of multiplicity, singularity, and the event. Lazzarato argues that capitalism's increasing focus on the production, capital, and accumulation of immaterial goods and services due to the rise of the internet necessitates new forms of thinking and resistance. To counter this new form of capitalist power, Lazzarato outlines a politics capable of translating new possibilities into actuality.
