By elucidating the inner consistency of the three volumes of Marx's Capital, this book poses the notion of capital as a specific form of organising social time, which itself functions as a thinking subject, relegating the individual to an inanimate object.
By employing Marxian economic categories, this Palgrave Pivot delves into the underlying causes of the 2008 global economic crisis and its implications for capitalism. It critically examines the effectiveness of the fiscal and monetary policies implemented afterward, arguing that these measures have not succeeded in revitalizing economies. The book offers a thought-provoking analysis that challenges conventional economic narratives surrounding the crisis and its aftermath.
