Contemporary forms of capitalism and the state require close
analytic attention to reveal the conditions of possibility for
effective counter-politics. On the other hand the practice of
collective politics needs to be studied through historical
ethnography if we are to understand what might make people's
actions effective. This book suggests a research agenda designed to
maximize the political leverage of ordinary people faced with ever
more remote states and technologies that make capitalism
increasingly rapacious. Gavin Smith opens and closes this series of
interlinked essays by proposing a concise framework for untangling
what he calls "the society of capital" and subsequently a
potentially controversial way of seeing its contemporary features.
This book tackles the political conundrums of our times and asks
what roles intellectuals might play therein.
