For readers of David Harvey and Thomas Piketty comes a new introduction to Marx’s Capital from the author of the internationally bestselling book Slow Down.
The follow-up to his global bestseller Slow Down and a new introduction to Marx's Capital, Capital From Zero is a reading guide, a manifesto, a revision, and a reclamation of Marx's foundational work of political theory. Building on his signature argument of "degrowth communism", Saito's introduction brings Capital squarely into the 21st century, offering a uniquely non-Western, non-dogmatic, and eco-socialist reading of the famous text.
Saito is a singular intellect with an essential and innovative point of view—a fresh new voice in Marxist theory who will sit alongside David Harvey and Thomas Piketty in educating and guiding the next generation of radical intellectuals. The material reconstructs Marx’s Capital from a totally new perspective based on more recent research findings, liberating Marx from old dogmas of Soviet socialism and aiming to rekindle our ability to envision a more equal and sustainable society beyond capitalism.
