Time for revolution

The two key essays by Antonio Negri brought together here were written in prison two decades apart. Time for Revolution illuminates the course of Negri´s thinking from the 1980s to Empire and beyond. It reflects Negri´s abiding interest in the philosophy of time and resistance. The first essay is a central work in Negri´s oeuvre, tracing the fracture lines which force capitalist society into perpetual crisis. The second essay, written immediately after Empire, provides a conceptual toolbox, deepening our understanding of the two key concepts of empire and multitude. Time for Revolution explores the issue of our times: is there still a place for resistance in a society utterly subsumed by capitalism?
