Description
*Written by the author of the global bestseller Empire*
Two keys essays written in prison two decades apart
Time for Revolution explores the burning issue of our times: is there still a place for resistance in a society utterly subsumed by capitalism?Written in prison two decades apart, these two essays reflect Antonio Negri's abiding interest in the philosophy of time and resistance. The first essay traces the fracture lines which force capitalist society into perpetual crisis. The second, written immediately after the global best-seller, Empire, develops the two key concepts of empire and multitude. Time for Revolution illuminates the course of Negri's thinking from the 1980s to Empire and beyond.

"A work of visionary intensity."--New Left Review
