Description
Book SynopsisThrough a methodologically-minded reconstruction of the Marxian critique of political economy, this study shows that the outcome of the historical movement of the objectified form of social mediation, which has turned into the very alienated subject of social life (i.e. capital), is to develop, as its own immanent determination, the constitution of the (self-abolishing) working class as a revolutionary subject.
