Aprašymas

Marx's analysis of society has traditionally advanced a two-class framework; of worker and capitalist. In Managerial Capitalism, Gerard Dumenil and Dominique Levy argue that a transition is underway towards a new mode of production, shaped by a third, intermediary class: managerialism.

With a focus on the US and Europe in particular, the authors provide a historically rooted interpretation of major current economic and political trends. They argue that the transition towards managerialism as a new mode of production is much more advanced than usually understood, especially in the US. While reasserting the explanatory power of Marx's theory of history and political economy, they update the Marxian framework to incorporate the transformation of relations of production and class patterns whose main expression has been the rise of managerial features.

The book makes the case for a revision of Marxist analysis on analytical as well as political grounds, to demonstrate that capitalism is entering a new period based on managerialism.
