Sommario/riassunto

Provides an intervention into Marxist analysis of time and capitalist



accumulation, and looks at how in contemporary regimes this translates as the universal appropriation of women's labour time. This book explores industrial and post-industrial times as moments in a longer-term trend and accelerated rates of disaggregated production.
