La Convivencialidad se anticipó a muchos debates hoy ineludibles. Inmersos ya en un colapso de difícil salida, su propuesta plantea un horizonte de sociedad postindustrial que permita «a todos sus miembros la acción más autónoma y más creativa posible», a través de la producción de herramientas controladas y controlables desde las propias necesidades primarias y comunitarias. -
<p>Mississippi is the poorest state in the US, with the highest percentage of Black people and a history of vicious racial terror. Black resistance at a time of global health, economic, and climate crisis is the backdrop and context for the drama captured in this new and revised collection of essays.</p> <p>Cooperation Jackson, founded in 2014 in Mississippi’s capital to develop an economically uplifting democratic “solidarity economy,” is anchored by a network of worker-owned, self-managed cooperative enterprises. The organization developed in the context of the historic election of radical Mayor Chokwe Lumumba, lifetime human rights attorney. Subsequent to Lumumba’s passing less than one year after assuming office, the network developed projects both inside and outside of the formal political arena. In 2020, Cooperation Jackson became the center for national and international coalition efforts, bringing together progressive peoples from diverse trade union, youth, church, and cultural movements.</p> <p>This long-anticipated anthology details the foundations behind those successful campaigns. It unveils new and ongoing strategies and methods being pursued by the movement for grassroots-centered Black community control and self-determination, inspiring partnership and emulation across the globe.</p> -
<p>Imagine a capitalist paradise. An island utopia governed solely by the rules of the market and inspired by the fictions of Ayn Rand and Robinson Crusoe. Sound far-fetched? It may not be. The past half century is littered with the remains of such experiments in what Raymond Craib calls “libertarian exit.” Often dismissed as little more than the dreams of crazy, rich Caucasians, exit strategies have been tried out from the southwest Pacific to the Caribbean, from the North Sea to the high seas, often with dire consequences for local inhabitants.</p> <p>Based on research in archives in the US, the UK, and Vanuatu, as well as in FBI files acquired through the Freedom of Information Act, Craib explores in careful detail the ideology and practice of libertarian exit and its place in the histories of contemporary cap­italism, decolonization, empire, and oceans and islands. Adventure Capitalism is a global history that intersects with an array of figures: Fidel Castro and the Koch brothers, American segregationists and Melanesian socialists, Honolulu-based real estate speculators and British Special Branch spies, soldiers of fortune and English lords, Orange County engineers and Tongan navigators, CIA operatives and CBS news executives, and a new breed of techno-utopians and an old guard of Honduran coup leaders.</p> <p>This is not only a history of our time but, given the new iterations of privatized exit—seasteads, free private cities, and space colonization—it is also a history of our future.</p> -
<p>Written between 1974 and 2016, <em>Revolution at Point Zero</em> collects four decades of research and theorizing on the nature of housework, social reproduction, and women’s struggles on this terrain—to escape it, to better its conditions, to reconstruct it in ways that provide an alternative to capitalist relations. Indeed, as Federici reveals, behind the capitalist organization of work and the contradictions inherent in “alienated labor” is an explosive ground zero for revolutionary practice upon which are decided the daily realities of our collective reproduction.</p> <p>Beginning with Federici’s organizational work in the Wages for Housework movement, the essays collected here unravel the power and politics of wide but related issues including the international restructuring of reproductive work and its effects on the sexual division of labor, the globalization of care work and sex work, the crisis of elder care, the development of affective labor, and the politics of the commons.</p> <p>This revised and expanded edition includes three additional essays and a new preface by the author.</p> -
<p>At a time when we are witnessing a worldwide expansion of capitalist relations, a feminist rethinking of Marx’s work is vitally important. In <em>Patriarchy of the Wage</em>, Silvia Federici, bestselling author and the most important Marxist feminist of our era, asks why Marx's crucial analysis of the exploitation of human labor was blind to women’s work and struggle on the terrain of social reproduction. Why was Marx unable to anticipate the profound transformations in the proletarian family that took place at the turn of the nineteenth century creating a new patriarchal regime? <em>Patriarchy of the Wage</em> does more than just redefine classical Marxism. It is an urgent call for a new kind of radical politics.</p> -
<p><em>Los límites del capital</em> es seguramente el gran texto fundacional de la llamada geografía crítica y también una de las obras mayores de David Harvey. Camuflado como un comentario de la obra de Marx, el autor nos va descubriendo, en estas páginas, algunos de los vacíos de la aproximación marxista a la hora de afrontar las dimensiones espaciales de la acumulación de capital. Sobre la base de algunas de las categorías de Marx, como «capital ficticio», «renta» o «desarrollo desigual», Harvey fundamenta el análisis de un campo teórico en el que la dimensión territorial del capitalismo adquiere una nueva centralidad. El espacio aparece, de este modo, como uno de los elementos fundamentales en el diseño capitalista, tanto como instrumento para la acumulación que como fuente de nuevas contradicciones.</p> <p>La teoría de la crisis, centro de la formulación marxista del capital, se ve así completada por toda una nueva batería de conceptos. La competencia territorial, la fijación en determinadas ubicaciones de enormes masas de capital, el ciclo de inversiones y devaluaciones de estos capitales territorializados, o fenómenos como el imperialismo y los grandes arreglos espaciales de la acumulación, se convierten en categorías clave para la compresión del capitalismo y sus crisis. <em>Los límites del capital</em> se confirma así como un libro fundamental de la teoría marxista contemporánea.</p>
