This volume brings together works written by international
theorists since the fall of the Berlin Wall, showing how today's
crisis-ridden global capitalism is making Marxist theory more
relevant and necessary than ever. This collection of key texts by
prominent and lesser-known thinkers from Latin America, Asia,
Africa, America, and Europe showcases an area of scholarly analysis
whose impact on academic and popular discourses as well as
political action will only grow in the coming years. It reflects
today's sense of planetary eco-emergency and a heightened interest
in political economy that follows discontentment with the growing
inequalities in the West and the unequal nature of development in
the "global South." The work is organized thematically, with
sections covering the present historical conjuncture, the
contemporary shapes of the social, philosophical concepts, theories
of culture, and the status of the political today. This new
formulation of the unity and nature of contemporary Marxist theory
will be an invaluable resource to any humanities and social science
student learning about social and political thought and theory.

"Marxism and the Critique of Value" aims to complete the critique
of the value-form that was initiated by Marx. While Marx's
"esoteric" critique of value has been rediscovered from time to
time by post-Marxists who know they've found something interesting
but don't quite know which end is the handle, Anglophone Marxism
has tended to bury this esoteric critique beneath a more
redistributionist understanding of Marx. The essays in this volume
attempt to think the critique of value through to the end, and to
draw out its implications for the current economic crisis; for
violence, Islamism, gender relations, masculinity, and the concept
of class; for revolutionary practice and agency; for the role of
the state and the future of the commons; for the concepts that come
down to us from Enlightenment thought: indeed, for the manifold
phenomena that characterize contemporary society under a capitalism
in crisis.
