Prominent strands of contemporary critical theory treat the economic formation of capitalist societies as a black box. From this perspective it is not only impossible but also unnecessary to subject capitalism itself to critique. Instead, only its external relations to other social formations—such as democratic political institutions—become the subject of critique. In this chapter, Jaeggi develops a conception of capitalism as a form of life that allows us to open the black box. By bring into view the internal state and constitution of economic practices and institutions that shape our lives, this conception allows us to subject the economy itself to critique.
