From the trenches of 1914 to today’s techno-military experimentations, he shows how capital’s “creative destruction” has become a permanent strategy of rule—one in which production and devastation are indistinguishable, and in which democracy survives only as a façade stretched over a deepening authoritarian core.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGathering Lazzarato’s most urgent recent essays, this volume offers a devastating critique of neoliberal fantasies, Western innocence, and the naive liberal belief that capitalism can be governed into civility. Against the West’s new imperial wars and the financial aristocracies that command them, Lazzarato stubbornly insists on the centrality of class struggle, global revolt, and the strategic alliances emerging across the South and the banlieues alike. A book for the crises we’re already living through, it calls for nothing less than a total rupture with the state–capital machine and a political imagination adequate to the coming century of struggle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan id=\"docs-internal-guid-0baf9aa4-7fff-25af-f2d5-bc94e75045ec\"\u003eMaurizio Lazzarato\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Italian sociologist and philosopher whose work spans political theory, labor studies, and the critique of contemporary capitalism.
