When "Empire" appeared in 2000, it defined the political and
economic challenges of the era of globalization and, thrillingly,
found in them possibilities for new and more democratic forms of
social organization. Now, with "Commonwealth," Michael Hardt and
Antonio Negri conclude the trilogy begun with "Empire" and
continued in "Multitude," proposing an ethics of freedom for living
in our common world and articulating a possible constitution for
our common wealth.
Drawing on scenarios from around the globe and elucidating the
themes that unite them, Hardt and Negri focus on the logic of
institutions and the models of governance adequate to our
understanding of a global commonwealth. They argue for the idea of
the common to replace the opposition of private and public and the
politics predicated on that opposition. Ultimately, they articulate
the theoretical bases for what they call governing the
revolution.
Though this book functions as an extension and a completion of
a sustained line of Hardt and Negri s thought, it also stands alone
and is entirely accessible to readers who are not familiar with the
previous works. It is certain to appeal to, challenge, and enrich
the thinking of anyone interested in questions of politics and
globalization.
