Les communs anticapitalistes
Par le partage égalitaire des ressources, les communs n'ont rien à voir avec les rapports de production capitalistes. Ils sont les prémices d'une solidarité sociale, au-delà de l'État et du marché. Mais il faut prendre garde qu'ils ne soient récupérés par le capitalisme

Commons against and beyond capitalism
This essay contrasts the logic underlining the production of ‘commons’ with the logic of capitalist relations, and describes the conditions under which ‘commons’ become the seeds of a society beyond state and market. It also warns against the danger that ‘commons’ may be co-opted to provide low-cost forms of reproduction, and discusses how this outcome can be prevented.
Reflections on the History of Debt Resistance: The Case of El Barzón
The history of debt resistance has many lessons for those involved in the making of a new debtors' movement in the United States. This article attempts to articulate these lessons by concentrating on the experience of the most important debtors' movement in Mexico of the 1990s, El Barzón. The first part of the article clarifies an important distinction between "profit debt" and "use-value debt." These two kinds of debt do not dichotomously divide…

Globalization and Professionalization in Africa
Terror And The Source Of Reason
Respectez vos ennemis: La première règle de la paix
Cet article s’adresse au mouvement anti-guerre américain qui congédie l’administration Bush comme une bande de loufoques d’extrême droite, dénuée de vision, qui lèche les bottes des grandes compagnies de pétrole, et qui de ce fait ne mériterait pas une analyse approfondie. Si l’administration Bush mérite le respect (i.e. « un réexamen ») c’est qu’elle s’est presque totalement mobilisée dans la réponse à une crise du néolibéralisme, vieille de 5 a…

The Death Penalty and Globalization in Nigeria, the United States, and Europe
The most ominous social phenomena shaping the U.S. political economy in the 1980s and 1990s have undoubtedly been: (1) the mass incarceration of young proletarian men and women, mostly black and Hispanic, and (2) not only the return to the death penalty (after the moratorium of the 1972-1976 period) but the constant escalation in the number of executions.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are …
