Labor Of Dionysus: A Critique of the State-Form

"Labor is the living, form-giving fire," Marx wrote. "It is the transitoriness of things, their temporality, as their transformation by living time." How is it, then, that labor, with all its life-affirming; potential, has become the means of capitalist discipline, exploitation, and domination in modern society? The authors; expose and pursue this paradox through a systematic analysis of the role of labor in the processes of capitalist production and in; the establishment of capitalist legal and social institutions. Critiquing liberal and socialist notions of labor and institutional; reform from a radical democratic perspective, Hardt and Negri challenge the state-form itself.
