Leurs écrits offrent des aperçus critiques sur les dynamiques de pouvoir et de résistance dans le monde moderne.
Each year an eruption of leaderless social movements leaves external observers and activists perplexed.

In their international bestseller Empire, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri presented a grand unified vision of a world in which the old forms of imperialism are no longer effective. But what of Empire in an age of “American empire”? Has fear become our permanent condition and democracy an impossible dream? Such pessimism is profoundly mistaken, the authors argue. Empire, by interconnecting more areas of life, is actually creating the possibility for a new kind of democracy, allowing different groups to form a multitude, with the power to forge a democratic alternative to the present world order.Exhilarating in its optimism and depth of insight, Multitude consolidates Hardt and Negri’s stature as two of the most important political philosophers at work in the world today.

In The Subversive Seventies, Michael Hardt sets out to show that popular understandings of the political movements of the seventies--often seen as fractious, violent, and largely unsuccessful--are not just inaccurate, but foreclose valuable lessons for the political struggles of today. Looking at a wide range of movements around the globe during the 1970s, from the United States, to Guinea Bissau, South Korea, Chile, Turkey, and Italy, Hardt argues that the movements of the 1970s identified and attempted to resolve the political problems that still face contemporary radical political thought and action.
Finanz- und Umweltkrisen haben gezeigt: Die Welt braucht eine neue politische Ordnung. In ihrer Streitschrift entwerfen Michael Hardt und Antonio Negri den Weg dorthin. Inspiriert von den weltweiten Protestbewegungen beschreiben sie das Projekt einer Demokratie von unten: Wenn wir uns den Schulden verweigern, aus der Überwachung befreien, neue Netze politischer Information schaffen und die entleerte repräsentative Demokratie durch lebendige Formen der Beteiligung ersetzen, können wir eine neue Verfassung begründen. Eine, in der Wasser, Banken, Bildung und andere Ressourcen »commons«, Gemeingüter sind. Auf diesem Weg können wir die Folgen der Finanzkrise, die drängenden Umweltprobleme und die wachsende soziale Ungleichheit überwinden.
