Description: Despite insoluble contradictions intense volatility and fierce resistance the crisis - ridden capitalism of the 21st century lingers on. To understand capital's paradoxical expansion and entrenchment amidst crisis and unrest Mute Compulsion offers a novel theory of the historically unique forms of abstract and impersonal power set in motion by the subjection of social life to the profit imperative. Building on a critical reconstruction of Karl Marx's unfinished critique of political economy and a wide range of contemporary Marxist theory philosophers ren Mau sets out to explain how the logic of capital tightens its stranglehold on the life of society by constantly remoulding the material conditions of social reproduction. In the course of doing so Mau intervenes in classical and contemporary debates about the value form crisis theory biopolitics social reproduction humanism logistics agriculture metabolism the body competition technology and relative surplus populations.
