Conventional wisdom holds that Capitalism depends on the exploitation of 'free labor.' This volume challenges those ideas.
With so many political establishments and economic institutions undergoing enormous changes, many economic theories are being called into question. The legitimacy of capitalism is being considered by socialist economists the world over, and critiques of Marxism are attempting to put the school of thought into a more modern context.
Labor Regime Change in the Twenty-First Century calls into question the validity of various historical interpretations of capitalism, unfreedom and primitive accumulation based on current economic developments.

Praised as a landmark study by James Petras in Science and Society, this work offers a comprehensive critique and alternative framework on capitalist labour regimes. Kendra Strauss in Capital and Class highlights its timely contribution to the discourse on unfree labour and the importance of recognising class struggle from above, particularly relevant to contemporary labour market issues.
