Why read it?
1 author picked Critical Theory and the Critique of Political Economy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
For this book, the critique of political economy is a thoroughly subversive business. It rejects the appearance of economic reality as a natural thing, argues that the economy has no independent existence. Subversion focuses on human conditions. Its critical subject is society unaware of itself. This book develops Marx's critique of political economy as a negative theory of society. It does not conform to the patterns of the world and demands that society rids itself of all the muck of ages and founds itself anew.
From Vasilis' list on critical theory, fetishism, and irrationality.
