Marx and the Commons: From Capital to the Late Writings

Through an original analysis of a vast range of Marx's writings Basso brings out an articulated historical-theoretical landscape in which the notion of 'individual' is intertwined with the ideas of 'class', 'society' and 'community.' Rooting his analysis in the revolutionary power of the workers' 'acting in common,' Basso brings to the fore an anthropological dynamic in Marx.
