Note(s) : This volume examines the recent advance of neoliberalism. The volume begins with a
very extensive study of the archives of Piero Sraffa, which suggests the importance
of Marx's influence on his work. The following chapters address the recent multifaceted
advance of neoliberalism, with a focus on three current instances. Firstly, suggesting
uneven development as in Rosa Luxemburg. South African multi-billion dollar investments
in two fossil-fuel projects have recently cemented debtor relations to the World Bank
and the Chinese Development Bank, while generating activist opposition in this era
of climate crisis. A second instance focuses on secondary school teachers in England
whose work load is not only increasing but also increasingly commodified and judged,
a development that represents the penetration of abstract labor and alienation, as
in Marx. The third example examines the credit bubbles in Greece, noting them as an
example of the progency of fictitious capital. The remaining chapters include a critique
of Althussers interpretation of the Marxist philosophy of science, and a continued
discussion regarding the concept of a labor aristocracy, engaging the work of Zak
Cope.
