Sommario/riassunto

Much has been written since Capital was first published, and more recently after the demise of the Soviet Union and the consequent triumph of neoliberalism, about the irrelevance, inconsistency, and obsoleteness of Marx. This has been attributed to his unworkable



method of inquiry. This book goes against the current. It introduces the issues that are presently most hotly debated, it evaluates them, and it groups them into four headings, each one of them corresponding to a chapter. At the same time, it submits a new reading of Marx’s method of social research and on this basis it argues that Marx’s work offers a solid foundation upon which to further develop a multi-faceted theory of crises highly relevant for the contemporary world.

Sommario/riassunto

Entre la naissance et la mort de Georgia O'Keeffe, toute l'histoire moderne des États-Unis défile comme dans un film made in Hollywood. Originaire d'une petite ville, c'est dans ce New York qui, au milieu du XXe siècle, supplante Paris en tant que capitale du monde de l'art que Georgia O'Keeffe se crée un nom. Née en 1887, elle est l'une des grandes figures qui a participé à l'émancipation de l'art moderne d'essence américaine. À une époque où les femmes étaient avant tout destinées à leur rôle d'épouse et de mère, Georgia O'Keeffe défia les conventions en devenant la compagne, puis la femme d
