Marx Beyond Marx Lessons on the Grundrisse

A key figure in the Italian "Autonomia" Movement reads Marx's Gründrisse, developing the critical and controversial theoretical apparatus that informs the "zero-work" strategy and other elements so crucial to this new and "heretical" tendency in Marxist theory. A challenge to both capitalist and socialist apologists for waged slavery.
In 1978, at the invitation of Louis Althusser, Negri presented a series of seminars on Marx's Grundrisse in Paris. This is a book of those seminars, translated and introduced by Harry Cleaver, Michael Ryan, and Maurizio Viano. Negri, then a leading figure of the Italian Autonomia (and now of course, even more famous!) was in France as a consequence of charges relating to revolutionary action brought against him by the Italian State.
"Marx Beyond Marx aims toward a reconstruction of Marxist theory, a reconstruction that goes beyond Marx by going back to Marx, an angry Marxism summoned by the real possibility of communism....In setting the agenda for such a reconstruction, and in clarifying its priorities, Marx Beyond Marx is a path-breaking and indispensable work." â??Capital & Class
