Following in the intellectual tradition of Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, Michel Foucault, Karl Marx, and others, Maurizio Lazzarato's The Revolutions of Capitalism charts the changing conditions of twenty-first-century neoliberal capitalism and the strategies needed to challenge them. Originally published in French in 2004, this newly translated work attempts to define a radical political, social, and ontological theory around questions of multiplicity, singularity, and the event. Lazzarato argues that capitalism's increasing focus on the production, capital, and accumulation of immaterial goods and services due to the rise of the internet necessitates new forms of thinking and resistance. To counter this new form of capitalist power, Lazzarato outlines a politics capable of translating new possibilities into actuality.

Maurizio Lazzarato is a Paris-based sociologist and social theorist and a member of the editorial group of the journal Multitudes. Brian Whitener is Associate Professor of Spanish at the University at Buffalo. Geo Maher is an abolitionist educator, organizer, and writer based in Philadelphia.

"Drawing creatively on heterodox traditions of Italian Marxism, the schizoanalysis of Deleuze-Guattari, the literary theory of Mikhail Bakhtin and the sociology of Gabriel Tarde, this book is an important and original contribution to the social and philosophical critique of contemporary capitalism and the delineation of post- and anti-capitalist futures."-Alberto Toscano, author of, Communism in Philosophy: Essays on Alain Badiou and Toni Negri "Unfailingly original and provocative, Lazzarato provides in this book an insightful analysis of contemporary capitalist society and its modes of control that is engaged deeply with both philosophical problematics and activist agendas."-Michael Hardt, author of, The Subversive Seventies
