The synthesis of Marx and Foucault has traditionally been seen
within the social sciences as deeply problematic. The author
overturns this received wisdom by subjecting both thinkers to an
original re-reading through the lens of the philosophy of critical
realism.
The result is an illuminating synthesis between Marx's social
relations of production and Foucault's disciplinary power from
which the author constructs a model of the material causes of our
capacity to act. The laws of motion of a society and its
microphysics are shown to be complementary parts of a theory of
capital, society's genetic code. The Nature of Capital overturns
traditional interpretations of Marx, presents an accessible and
comprehensive account of the development of his model of capital
and demonstrates its ability to explain modern societies.
