Global Marx: History and Critique of the Social Movement in the World Market

Global Marx coheres a collective assessment of Marx's account of capital's domination, through his critique of disciplinary languages, investigation of political structures and analysis of specific political spaces within the world market. His discourse appears here as global not only because global is the geography of the world market but also because Marx redefined the relationships between the spaces on which capital exerts its command. Global Marx proves that Marx's texts do not identify any global working class, nor a centre of power to be conquered, but show that - within and against the world market - there is a social movement that is irreducible to any identity or to a single space from whose perspective one can write a universal history of class struggle.
