Synopsis

In this important book, Rebecca Carson develops the concept of "immanent externalities" to grasp the non-capitalist life processes produced by―and necessary for―capitalist reproduction. Immanent Externalities thus considers the category of reproduction by means of a philosophical re-reading of the three volumes of Marx's Capital. In doing so, the book locates capitalism's fundamental contradiction as that between the reproduction of profit-driven activity and ecologically situated human life, suggesting new orientations for theory and practice today.
