Reviews

Tackling recent controversies ... Carchedi's reflection, dispelling received ideas about knowledge and contemporary capitalism, evidences the fallacy of post-workerist presuppositions, re-opening the debate on knowledge, the labour process, and value theory. Marco Boffo, University of London (Marx & Philosophy, 2011)
