<nettime> managerialism

[Örsan Şenalp <orsan1234@gmail.com>]

Marx's analysis of society has traditionally advanced a two-class
framework; of worker and capitalist. In Managerial Capitalism, Gerard
Dumenil and Dominique Levy argue that a transition is underway towards
a new mode of production, shaped by a third, intermediary class:
managerialism. With a focus on the US and Europe in particular, the
authors provide a historically rooted interpretation of major current
economic and political trends. They argue that the transition towards
managerialism as a new mode of production is much more advanced than
usually understood, especially in the US. While reasserting the
explanatory power of Marx's theory of history and political economy,
they update the Marxian framework to incorporate the transformation
of relations of production and class patterns whose main expression
has been the rise of managerial features. The book makes the case for
a revision of Marxist analysis on analytical as well as political
grounds, to demonstrate that capitalism is entering a new period based
on managerialism.
