This book explores a variety of interconnected themes central to
contemporary Marxist theory and its further development as a
critical social theory. Championing the critique of political
economy as a critical theory of society and rejecting Marxian
economics as a contradiction in terms, it argues instead that
economic categories are perverted social categories, before
identifying the sheer unrest of life - the struggle to make ends
meet - as the negative content of the reified system of economic
objectivity. With class struggle recognised as the negative
category of the cold society of capitalist wealth, which sees in
humanity a living resource for economic progress, the author
contends that the critique of class society finds its rational
solution in the society of human purposes, that is, the classless
society of communist individuals. A theoretically sophisticated
engagement with Marxist thought, A Critical Theory of Economic
Compulsion will appeal to scholars of social and political theory
with interests in critical theory and post-capitalist imaginaries.
