The author draws on lesser known archival materials, including Marx's notebooks on women and patriarchy and technology to offer a new interpretation of Marx's concept of alienation as this concept develops in his later works.
Exploring five pivotal concepts—Labor, Time, Property, Value, and Crisis—this book examines their growing influence during the bourgeois era of modernity. It highlights how these ideas shape not only academic fields such as philosophy, law, and social sciences but also impact daily life. By analyzing their political power, the author reveals how these concepts govern our understanding and interactions within society, making them essential for comprehending contemporary issues.
