Marx's Inferno: The Political Theory of Capital

"Marx's Infernois the best book of political theory I've read that has been written in the last five years. InterpretingCapitalas an integrated whole, it takes a canonical text we all thought we knew and makes us realize we never knew it at all. This is reading on a grand scale, reading as it was meant to be."--Corey Robin, Brooklyn College and CUNY Graduate Center

"Marx's Inferno provides an innovative reading of Karl Marx's Capital as a work of political theory. The unifying thread of this book is the author's conviction that Marx's work is heavily indebted to a set of broadly republican commitments about the nature of freedom. This original idea not only illuminates Marx's writings, but also contributes to an important area of contemporary research in intellectual history."--David Leopold, University of Oxford
