Anotace knihy

The neoliberal project in the West has created an increasingly polarized and impoverished world, to the point that the vast majority of its citizens require liberation from their present socio-economic circumstances. Marxist theorist Kenneth Surin contends that innovation and change at the level of the political must occur in order to achieve this liberation, and for this endeavour Marxist theory and philosophy are indispensable. "Freedom Not Yet" analyzes the nature of our current global economic system, particularly with regard to the plight of less-developed countries, and shows the possibilities of creating new political subjects necessary to establish and sustain a liberated world. Surin begins by examining the current regime of accumulation, or the global domination of financial markets over traditional industrial economies, which is used as an instrument for the subordination and dependency of poorer nations. He then moves to the constitution of subjectivity, or the way humans are produced as social beings, which he casts as the key arena in which struggles against dispossession occur. Surin critically engages with the major philosophical positions that have been suggested as models of liberation, including Derrida and Levinas' notion of reciprocity between a subject and its other; a reinvigorated militancy in political reorientation based on Badiou and Zizek; the nomad politics of Deleuze and Guttari; and the politics of the multitude suggested by Hardt and Negri. Finally, Surin specifies the material conditions needed for liberation from the economic, political, and social failures of our current system. "Freedom Not Yet" investigates the philosophical possibilities for a Marxist or neo-Marxist concept of liberation from capitalist exploitation and the regimes of power that support it, in order to seek a route to a better life for the world's poorer populations.
