Identifying the critique of value as the central through-line of the analysis, Best elaborates Marx's theory of value as a theory of movement through which the capital-machine generates social forms of appearance that are the inversions of its inner operating mechanisms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCharacterizing capital’s movement and the dynamic production of social form as a 'perceptual physics,' Best demonstrates the consistency and the coherency with which Marx's theory of value orients all trajectories of analysis in \u003ci\u003eCapital\u003c\/i\u003e 3, as well as providing the conceptual bridge between Volumes on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book illustrates the way in which capital’s development to this day is as much as a story of the continuity of capital's inner dynamics as it is a story of ongoing transformation of capital's surface-forms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBest develops, through Marx's critique, an analysis of money, credit, crisis, and the derivatives of profit-interest and ground-rent, that takes the reader from their emergence as capitalist forms to their current expressions. Neither a back-to-basics nor newfangled reconstruction, \u003ci\u003eThe Automatic Fetish\u003c\/i\u003e eschews novelty to show why, once again, Marx deserves to be read carefully.","brand":"Beverley Best","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":51682585215192,"sku":"9781804294802","price":39.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2770\/5320\/files\/cover-9781804294802.jpg?v=1778703045","url":"https:\/\/destiil.com\/fr\/products\/the-automatic-fetish","provider":"De Stiil Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
