Abstract

The term Occupy represents a belief in the transformation of the capitalist system through a new heterogenic world of protest and activism that cannot be conceived in terms of liberal democracy, parliamentary systems, class war or vanguard politics. These conceptualisations do not articulate where power is held, nor from where transformation may issue. This collection of essays by world-leading scholars of Deleuze and Guattari examines how capitalism can be understood as a global abstract machine whose effects pervade all of life and how Occupy can be framed as a response to this as a heterogenic movement based on new tactics, revitalised democratic processes and nomadic systems of organisation. Seeing the question as a political tactic aimed at delegitimizing their protest, Occupiers refused to answer the question ‘what do you want?’, produce manifestos, elect leaders or act as a vanguard. Occupy: A People Yet to Come goes some considerable way towards providing the terms upon which this refusal can be understood within a changed landscape of political activism and the rewriting of the conventions of political protest. Including essays by Claire Colebrook, Giuseppina Mecchia, John Protevi, Rodrigo Nunes, Verena Andermatt Conley, Nicholas Thoburn, Ian Buchanan, David Burrows, Eugene Holland and Andrew Conio, the volume examines the economic predicates of capitalist economics: liberal democracy and its alternatives, the conjugation of protest and aesthetics, how occupy experiments with different types of leadership and how power, hierarchies and resistance might be understood using Deleuze and Guattari’s radical conceptualizations of debt; subjectivity, the minor and the molecular, occupation, dispersed leadership, territory, smooth space and the war machine.

Abstract

C’est entendu : il existe une horreur économique. Mais la dénoncer ne suffit pas : si la dénonciation était efficace, il y a longtemps que le capitalisme aurait disparu… Les auteurs appellent capitalisme ce système qui nous saisit à travers des alternatives infernales, du type : « Si vous demandez des droits supplémentaires, une augmentation de salaire, vous favorisez les délocalisations et le chômage. » Comment ne pas être paralysé ? D’autres peuples ont appelé cela un système sorcier. Et si ce n’était pas une métaphore ? Et si c’était même le meilleur nom que l’on pouvait donner à la prise que le capitalisme exerce sur nous, nous aidant, du coup, à réfléchir aux manières dont nous pouvons avoir prise sur lui ? Pourquoi avons-nous été si vulnérables à un tel système ? Comment se protéger ? Certaines idées de gauche, et d’abord la croyance dans le « progrès », n’auraient-elles pas donné au capitalisme le moyen de nous rendre impuissants ? Ce livre s’adresse à celles et ceux qui refusent la résignation. Il affirme l’importance politique de l’action de collectifs capables de créer de nouvelles manières de résister à ce que nous subissons, et la nécessité d’une culture d’apprentissage et de relais, car nous avons besoin des savoirs que produit et demande la construction de tels collectifs. C’est par la question pragmatique « comment faire prise » que les auteurs prolongent le cri lancé à Seattle : « Un autre monde est possible ! »

Abstract

Virtually everyone-left, right, and center-believes that capitalist economies are autonomous, coherent, and regulated by their own internal laws. This view is an illusion. The reality is that economies organized around the pursuit of private profit are contradictory, incoherent, and heavily shaped by politics and governmental action. But the illusion remains hugely consequential because it has been embraced by political and economic elites who are convinced that they are powerless to change this system. The result is cycles of raised hopes followed by disappointment as elected officials discover they have no legitimate policy tools that can deliver what the public wants. In Capitalism, leading economic sociologist Fred L. Block argues that restoring the vitality of the United States and the world economy can be accomplished only with major reforms on the scale of the New Deal and the post-World War II building of new global institutions.

Abstract

The work of Karl Polanyi has gained in influence in recent years to become a point of reference to a wide range of leading authors in the fields of economics, politics, sociology and social policy. Newly available in paperback, this volume is a combination of reflections on, and assessment of, the nature of Polanyi's contribution and new strands of work, both theoretical and empirical, that has been inspired by Polanyi's insights. It gathers together the key contributions to the first ever workshop on the work of Karl Polanyi held in the United Kingdom. Several of the contributions develop Pol.
