This volume examines the recent advance of neoliberalism. The volume
begins with a very extensive study of the archives of Piero Sraffa,
which suggests the importance of Marx's influence on his work. The
following chapters address the recent multifaceted advance of
neoliberalism, with a focus on three current instances. Firstly,
suggesting uneven development as in Rosa Luxemburg. South African
multi-billion dollar investments in two fossil-fuel projects have
recently cemented debtor relations to the World Bank and the Chinese
Development Bank, while generating activist opposition in this era of
climate crisis. A second instance focuses on secondary school teachers
in England whose work load is not only increasing but also
increasingly commodified and judged, a development that represents the
penetration of abstract labor and alienation, as in Marx. The third
example examines the credit bubbles in Greece, noting them as an
example of the progency of fictitious capital. The remaining chapters
include a critique of Althusser's interpretation of the Marxist
philosophy of science, and a continued discussion regarding the
concept of a labor aristocracy, engaging the work of Zak Cope.
