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.
