In Beyond Capital, the internationally esteemed Marxist philosopher Istvan Meszaros provides a major contribution to the task of reassessing the socialist alternative and the conditions for its realization in the light of twentieth-century developments and disappointments. Meszaros brings original Marxist thinking to bear on the most fundamental issue facing the left: how to move theoretically Beyond Capital-beyond the project that Marx began and which he articulated under a specific form of commodity capitalism, as well as beyond the power of capital itself.
