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 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. Praise for "How often can it happen that a book is swept off the shelves until you can't find a copy in New York for love nor money?"--Observer "Whether presenting new concepts--like Empire and multitude--or urging revolution, it brims with confidence in its ideas."--New York Times "Empire presents a philosophical vision that some have greeted as the 'next big thing' in the field of the humanities."--Sunday Times "A sweeping neo-Marxist vision of the coming world order"--Foreign Affairs "A work of visionary intensity."--New Left Review
