An updated edition of a groundbreaking work on the global financial
crisis from a postfordist perspective. The 2010 English-language
edition of Christian Marazzi's The Violence of Financial Capitalism
made a groundbreaking work on the global financial crisis available
to an expanded readership. This new edition has been updated to
reflect recent events, up to and including the G20 summit in July
2010 and the broad consensus to reduce government spending that
emerged from it. Marazzi, a leading figure in the European
postfordist movement, argues that the processes of financialization
are not simply irregularities between the traditional categories of
wages, rent, and profit, but rather a new type of accumulation
adapted to the processes of social and cognitive production today.
The financial crisis, he contends, is a fundamental component of
contemporary accumulation and not a classic lack of economic
growth. Marazzi shows that individual debt and the management of
financial markets are actually techniques for governing the
transformations of immaterial labor, general intellect, and social
cooperation. The financial crisis has radically undermined the very
concept of unilateral and multilateral economico-political
hegemony, and Marazzi discusses efforts toward a new geomonetary
order that have emerged around the globe in response. Offering a
radically new understanding of the current stage of international
economics as well as crucial post-Marxist guidance for confronting
capitalism in its newest form, The Violence of Financial Capitalism
is a valuable addition to the contemporary arsenal of postfordist
thought. This edition includes the glossary of the esoteric
neolanguage of financial capitalism-"Words in Crisis," from "AAA"
to "toxic asset"-written for the first English-language edition,
and offers a new afterword by Marazzi.
How could Hannah Arendt, a German Jew who fled Germany in 1931,
have reconciled with Martin Heidegger, whom she knew had joined and
actively participated in the Nazi Party? In this remarkable
biography, Antonia Grunenberg tells how the relationship between
Arendt and Heidegger embraced both love and thought and made their
passions inseparable, both philosophically and romantically.
Grunenberg recounts how the history between Arendt and Heidegger is
entwined with the history of the twentieth century with its breaks,
catastrophes, and crises. Against the violent backdrop of the last
century, she details their complicated and often fissured
relationship as well as their intense commitments to thinking.
