The Double Consciousness of Capital
New!
From: The Socialist Register 2022
$1.80
David Harvey provided an analysis of Karl Marx’s “Grundrisse” through using W.E.B. Du Bois’ concept of ‘double consciousness’, to locate a tension in the making of an anti-capitalist politics. This is the tension between the possibilities – and polarization – found in the creative destruction and technological revolutions that capitalism brings, and the alienation and the loss of ‘human potentiality’ that occurs alongside them. He navigates the contradictions of this double consciousness.
