A new Marxist theory of the abstract and impersonal forms of power in capitalism
Despite insoluble contradictions, intense volatility and fierce resistance, the crisis-ridden capitalism of the 21st century lingers on. To understand capital’s paradoxical expansion and entrenchment amidst crisis and unrest, Mute Compulsion offers a novel theory of the historically unique forms of abstract and impersonal power set in motion by the subjection of social life to the profit imperative.
Building on a critical reconstruction of Karl Marx’s unfinished critique of political economy and a wide range of contemporary Marxist theory, philosopher Søren Mau sets out to explain how the logic of capital tightens its stranglehold on the life of society by constantly remoulding the material conditions of social reproduction.
In the course of doing so, Mau intervenes in classical and contemporary debates about the value form, crisis theory, biopolitics, social reproduction, humanism, logistics, agriculture, metabolism, the body, competition, technology and relative surplus populations.
Søren Mau is a communist philosopher and postdoctoral researcher based in Copenhagen, Denmark. He is an editor of the journal Historical Materialism and a member of the board of the Danish Society for Marxist Studies.
From the author:
As it is written in the introduction: "Reading the present is probably not an easy diet" - and I must admit it. It is a book written on a rather abstract level, with a lot of discussions about various Marxist-philosophical directions and for that reason it is probably not the easiest book to start with. It requires a fairly significant foundation to stand on before reading it. In other words, you must have read some other Marxist theory before reading the book before you can really appreciate it.
That said, it is a very important book in the discussion of our society and capitalism in particular.
