This book critically introduces two compelling contemporary schools
of Marxian thought: the New Reading of Marx of Michael Heinrich and
Werner Bonefeld, and the postoperaismo of Antonio Negri. Each stake
novel claims on Marx's value theory, the first revisiting key
categories of the critique of political economy through Frankfurt
School critical theory, the second calling the law of value into
crisis with reference to Marx's rediscovered 'Fragment on
Machines'. Today, 'postcapitalist' conceptualisations of a changing
workplace excite interest in postoperaist projections of a crisis
of measurability sparked by so-called immaterial labour. Using the
New Reading of Marx to question this prospectus, Critiquing
Capitalism Today clarifies complex debates for newcomers to these
cutting-edge currents of critical thought, looking anew at value,
money, labour, class and crisis.

From the moment Jeremy Corbyn was elected Labour leader, Corbynism
has been dismissed, derided or romanticised, but rarely taken
seriously as a set of ideas on its own terms. This book critically
outlines the shared understanding of capitalism and its
alternatives that unites the component parts of the Corbyn
movement. It decodes the central tenets of the Corbynist worldview,
showing their coherence with contemporary political-economic shifts
and conspiratorial understandings of global capitalism as a 'rigged
system' common to populist nativism in an age of Trump and Brexit.
Sensing a future beyond work lurking in an age of crisis, the
'post-capitalist' utopias of today spread the idea of a permanent
escape from work aided by the automation of production, a universal
basic income and the reduction of working hours to zero. By
skilfully unpicking the political economy of contemporary work and
its futures, this book mounts a forceful critique of the post-work
society vision. Dinerstein and Pitts reveal that transitional
measures towards a world beyond work do not do enough to break away
from the key features of capitalist society, and instead
potentially stifle the capacity for transformative social change.
Proposing an innovative alternative, the authors envision the
construction of 'concrete utopias' that shape and anticipate
non-capitalist futures.
