Three radical perspectives on the critique of capitalism For years,
the critique of capitalism was lost from public discourse; the very
word "capitalism" sounded like a throwback to another era. Nothing
could be further from the truth today. In this new intellectual
atmosphere, Sociology, Capitalism, Critique is a contribution to
the renewal of critical sociology, founded on an empirically
grounded diagnosis of society's ills. The authors, Germany's
leading critical sociologists - Klaus Doerre, Stephan Lessenich,
and Hartmut Rosa - share a conviction that ours is a pivotal period
of renewal, in which the collective endeavour of academics can
amount to an act of intellectual resistance, working to prevent any
regressive development that might return us to neoliberal
domination. The authors discuss key issues, such as questions of
accumulation and expropriation; discipline and freedom; and the
powerful new concepts of activation and acceleration. Their
politically committed sociology, which takes the side of the losers
in the current crisis, places society's future well-being at the
centre of their research. Their collective approach to this project
is a conscious effort to avoid co-optation in the institutional
practices of the academy. These three differing but complementary
perspectives serve as an insightful introduction to the
contemporary themes of radical sociology in capitalism's
post-crisis phase.
