Der Kauf und Verkauf von Geldkapital, seien es nun in Form von Aktien, Wertpapieren oder Derivaten, wird an sog. Geld- oder Kapitalmärkten abgewickelt. Man sollte aber dringlichst vermeiden, hier den Begriff des Marktes womöglich als konkretes Universal überzustrapazieren, vielmehr wäre es angebracht, diese Art strukturell-sozialer Raum als Distribution von Distributionen ...

The following discussion with Félix Guattari took place in his apartment in Paris. With the help of a number of friends, I had prepared a set of questions, and had contacted him to see if he might be available to answer some of them.\1 He responded immediately, ...

Since the emergence of bourgeois society and throughout the course of its existence, the emphasis on man has been the price paid for the development and the autonomization of exchange value as well as for the progressive reification of human relations. The more capitalist dehumanization – the ‘organic composition’ of ...

“Third Persons” and Reproduction:
A Note to R. Luxemburg’s Critique of Marx’s Reproduction Schemes
George Economakis and John Miliosi
Abstract
The aim of the present paper is to critically present Rosa Luxemburg’s critique to Marx’s reproduction schemes of a pure capitalist economy in Volume 2 of Capital, as a ...
It is worth recalling at this juncture that M-C-M! is not the formula for
economic circulation as such, but a specific mode of same: that of capitalism. Parallel to this is the oft-elided fact that Marx nowhere claims that the sale of commodities for money is peculiar to capitalism, but ...

Let us not sulk for our pleasure! The movement against the labour law of the spring of 2016, the defense of the ZAD of NDDL [Notre-dame-des-landes] in the spring of 2018 and finally the movement of the yellow vests that appeared in autumn 2018 and ...
Auch in dieser Frage machte Marx keinerlei Zugeständnisse. Und es waren Deleuze/Guattari, die aufgrund vielfältiger historischer Erfahrungen, von denen Marx nichts wissen konnte, ins gleiche Horn bliesen und dessen Ansatz noch verschärften. Deleuze und Guattari verhöhnen geradezu die Demokratie, die den Vertrag, den Konsens und die Kommunikation und damit ständig ...

The rise of finance makes capitalist exploitation more effective but heav-ily reliant on market liquidity. When the latter evaporates, the whole setting quickly disintegrates. In other words, the demand for more discipline within capitalist power relations makes the economic milieu more vulnerable and fragile. Financial instability in our contemporary societies ...

LiPuma untersucht in einem weiteren Abschnitt die verschiedenen Institutionen des spekulativen Kapitals. Der erste Bereich sind Geschäfts- und Investmentbanken, die an den Derivatmärkten spekulieren. Diese Unternehmen besitzen interne Hedgefonds, die mit dem firmeneigenen Kapital spekulieren, das heißt mit dem Kapital der Shareholder, und dabei gehebelte Strategien verwenden, um den Shareholder-Value ...

150 years after its publication, Marx’s Capital remains stunningly relevant today. In essence, it is a research program launched by Marx without ever having been completed, and which is basically an ongoing project, as its object is, as Marx himself explains, the “ideal average” of the capitalist system, the causal ...
Wir legen hier in drei Teilen einen Vorbericht zu dem Buch Das spekulative Kapital vor, welches die erste umfassende Studie einer neuen Kapitalform beinhaltet, die die Ökonomien des 21. Jahrhunderts beherrscht. Dabei beziehen wir uns in diesem Bericht des öfteren auf LiPumas Buch The Social Life of Financial Derivatives: Markets, ...

The essay we (autonomies) share below is by the brazilian philosopher Peter Pál Pelbart.

The exercise undertaken is difficult (to conceptualise a community of the different) and it ...

… Since the ‘we’ is constituted by the class relation, the self-overcoming of the ‘we’ is the overcoming of the relation that constitutes it. This is certainly theoretically uncompromising (and admirable because of it). But it is also paradoxical, and its paradoxical character exacerbates its status as a claim that ...

This paper places digital labour in the context of recently revived interest in the young Marx’s concept of ‘species-being’ (Gatungswesen). Cryptically and fragmentarily announced in the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844, but largely abandoned in Marx’s later work, the idea has passed in and then, apparently decisively, out, of ...

The difference between the two points of view will thus be all the
more pronounced. The Marxist notion of the proletariat entails a
triple consideration: its position within the structure of production,
determined at minimum by its dispossession of the means of production
and its insertion into the process of ...

There’s some fascinating comments by Louis Armand in an essay featured in Alienist #4 that deal with Primož Krašovec’s ‘Alien Capital’:
This Alien metaphor can be taken a step further, in that it exceeds the notion of simply an economic or social prosthesis – an addition to the world of ...

The riot is most important, then, not in its traditional ability to win demands that progressives can only drool over, but instead when it takes on a demandless character. This absence of demands in the riot and occupation implies two things: First, it implies a rejection of existing mediations ...

Abstract: This article proposes the necessity to return to Suzanne de Brunhoff’s Marxist monetary theory in order to conceptualise the relationship between production and social reproduction within financialised capitalist social relations. De Brunhoff maintains a commitment to understanding «money as money» or money as an independent variable, with a ...

In 1916 his poem Express: A Siberian Fantasy, Alexei Gastev depicts a journey, undertaken by a high-speed passenger train, across a vast wasteland that has been transformed by the pulsing tumult of industrial modernity. The vision is one of an open future, characterized by the tearing away of the ...

Writing a century and half ago, it was Marx’s particular theoretical genius to see right through the opening moments of industrial capitalism to its closing moments in the form of virtual capital moving at the speed of circulation. Ironically, as a thinker who was historically fixed in the immediate vicissitudes ...
