Work and freedom after capitalism
Together, the global environmental crisis and the declining dynamism of the capitalist economy pose an existential problem for the future of waged work. Today, capitalism seems unable to generate sufficient and well-paying jobs or to do so without intensifying the degradation of nature. As a recent wave of post-work literature suggests, it becomes increasingly urgent to rethink the possibility of a world without work; a world where individuals do…
Historical specificity and social form
This is the introductory article to the special issue on the convergences and divergences in Political and Open Marxism. It traces the historical and intellectual origins of these traditions and their original contributions to the theorisation of capitalism. It explores how their shared concern with the historical specificity of capitalism’s social forms challenged the established dogmas of Orthodox Marxism. The article also sheds light on their …
Secular Immiseration
This article engages with Marx’s mature critique of political economy and explores its relevance for understanding the crisis of work today. I consider the implications of Marx’s understanding of the relationship between machinery, labour and surplus populations for contemporary debates on automation’s impact on the future of work. Marx’s critique allows us to grasp how the capitalist application of machinery not only subjects the employment of p…
Drawing the Line
This article critically engages with the 'death of neoliberalism' debate. Its purpose is not to determine whether neoliberalism is dying or not but to highlight the limitations of the question, 'is neoliberalism dead?' The question invites answers that cannot satisfactorily account for both continuities and transformations in capitalist governance. Existing sides of the debate miss the fact that market discipline is a shared commitment of all ite…
The ‘wicked trinity’ of late capitalism
Scholars within the fields of political ecology, environmental political theory, and international political economy tend to evaluate the prospects of state-led environmental transitions in general terms – enquiring as to the capitalist state’s inherent properties and their environmental implications. Less attention has been paid to how the state’s green capacities are conditioned by contemporary evolutions in the form and pace of capital accumul…
Le capitalisme en déclin
La quatrième révolution industrielle (ou l’Industrie 4.0) est arrivée. De l’intelligence artificielle à la culture des viandes en passant par les imprimantes en 3D, les innovations actuelles semblent être sur le point de faire émerger un monde d’abondance matérielle et de loisirs sans précédent. Telle est la prévision du World Economic Forum, qui se réjouit de cette transformation technologique imminente comme « l’occasion [...] de créer un aveni…
Beyond the Mutual Constitution of States and Markets
International Political Economy (IPE) textbooks tend to present the concept of a clear state-market dichotomy as the disciplinary mainstream. Yet we argue that a critical consensus has emerged around the mutual constitution of states and markets. Underpinning this is the Polanyian thesis that economic activities are always politically embedded. However, we claim that this notion of state-market mutual constitution is inadequate to grasp the pecul…
Transnational Depoliticisation and Industrial Policy
Following the 2008 financial crash, voices have called governments to re-embrace industrial policy and promote industrial development. Such calls presuppose that the past decades witnessed a relative retreat of activist industrial policies. Within international political economy the latter is explained by the limits posed by the structure of global economic governance and globalisation on the state’s interventionist capacities. This article argue…
The politics of deindustrialisation
Productive and unproductive labour and social form
The categories of productive and unproductive labour have been a source of contention among Marxist scholars since Marx first committed them to paper. This article will offer a critique of both the orthodox and autonomist approaches to this issue, arguing that they constitute transhistorical and analytically inadequate interpretations. In contrast, a social form approach to productive and unproductive labour provides a substantive definition of t…
