This edited volume offers the first critical engagement with one of
the most provocative and controversial theories in political
economy: the thesis that capital can be theorized as power and that
capital is finance and only finance. The book also includes a
detailed introduction to this novel thesis first put forward by
Nitzan and Bichler in their Capital as Power. Although endorsing
the capital as power argument to varying extents, contributors to
this volume agree that a new understanding of capital that
radically departs from Marxist and Neoclassical theories cannot be
ignored. Offering the first application and appraisal of Nitzan and
Bichler's theory, chapters examine the thesis in the context of
energy and global capitalization, US Investment Banks, trade and
investment agreements between Canada, the US and Mexico, and
multinational corporations in Apartheid South Africa. Balancing
theory, methodology and empirical analysis throughout, this book is
accessible to new readers, whilst contextualising and advancing the
original theoretical debate. The Capitalist Mode of Power will be
of interest to students and scholars of International Relations,
Political Economy, Globalization and Critical Theory.
