Revolutions of Capitalism
Maurizio Lazzarato's Revolutions of Capitalism charts a new theory of contemporary capitalism and the politics against it.
Framed by brilliant readings of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, Gabriel Tarde, and Mikhail Bakhtin, Maurizio Lazzarato’s Revolutions of Capitalism charts a new theory of contemporary capitalism and the politics against it. Originally published in French in 2004, this newly translated work sees capitalism as driven, not only by labour or value, but by the capture of cooperation and by the taming of possibles.
Lazzarato theorises how contemporary capitalism depends on noo-politics, or the “action of brains at a distance on other brains,” which seeks to control memory and attention and to trap the proliferation of possibles. Against this, Lazzarato reveals how current social movements attack established institutions and their vision of a single possible world to liberate the creation and actualisation of a multiplicity of possible worlds.
