Practices Studied: Capitalism, Article text
Unlike orthodox Marxists, Berardi's autonomist theories draw on psychoanalysis, schizoanalysis and communication theory to show how subjectivity and desire are bound up with the functioning of the capitalist system, rather than portraying events such as the 2008 financial crisis merely as an example of the inherently contradictory logic of capitalist accumulation.
