Corporate capitalism is usually examined from a sociological or
economic viewpoint, and this book breaks new ground in providing a
thorough account of the mechanisms which define it from a
philosophical perspective, revealing how these processes determine the
way we live today.
Marxist and other left-oriented political philosophies had ideological
roots that were based, sometimes incongruously, on particular economic
and sociological readings of the capitalist process. Political
philosophies associated with conservatism and neoliberalism have
either been assimilated within capitalist discourses, or they have
been designed to justify corporate capitalist processes.
This book re-examines these issues with an unusually dispassionate
approach, providing a systematic view of contemporary corporate
capitalism in all its complexity, without expecting the reader to have
a specialist knowledge of sociology or economics. It clarifies the
scope of political philosophy by reflecting on its own methodology and
practice, and offers a controversial conclusion that within
contemporary corporate capitalist modes of organisation there is
actually no space left for political philosophy at all, as corporate
capitalism systematically denies all political agents an ability to
exercise their political will.
