Labor Regime Change In The Twenty-first Century: Unfreedom, Captalism And Primitive Accumulation Summary

Labor Regime Change In The Twenty-first Century: Unfreedom, Captalism And Primitive Accumulation: Studies in Critical Social Sciences, Volume 35 by Tom Brass

With so many political establishments and economic institutions undergoing enormous changes, many economic theories are being called into question. The legitimacy of capitalism is being considered by socialist economists the world over, and critiques of Marxism are attempting to put the school of thought into a more modern context. Labor Regime Change in the Twenty-First Century calls into question the validity of various historical interpretations of capitalism, unfreedom and primitive accumulation based on current economic developments.

Labor Regime Change In The Twenty-first Century: Unfreedom, Captalism And Primitive Accumulation Reviews

"Tom Brass, one of the United Kingdom's leading Marxist scholars has written a brilliant, theoretically informed, comprehensive critique of past and present, Marxist and non-Marxist writers of capitalist labor regimes and puts forth an alternative theoretical-conceptual framework ... Brass's book is a landmark study that is especially relevant to the emergence of a new genre of development studies which will return the class struggle and the ransition to socialism into the center of theory and practice."
James Petras, Science and Society

The volume is a timely and important contribution to the literature (especially its Marxist variant) on unfree labour, with a wealth of theoretical and empirical detail, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in the issue of unfreedom in contemporary labour markets[the] concept of class struggle from above (by capital against labour) is hugely important in our current conjuncture, when any attempts to rein in the excesses of capital are framed as class warfare or a politics of envy
