Title: Adorno and Marx
Description: "While Adorno has tended to be read as a critic of the administered world and the consumer industry rather than a Marxist, Adorno and Marx e stablishes Adorno's negative dialectics as fundamental for understanding Marx's critique of political economy. This conception of the critique of political economy as a critical theory marks both a radical departure from traditional Marxist scholarship and from traditional readings of Adorno's work and warns against identifying Adorno with Marx or Marx with Adorno. Rather, it highlights the intersection between Adorno's critical theory and Marx's critique of political economy that produces a critical theory of economic objectivity that moves beyond Marxian economics and Adornonian social theory. Written by an international team of leading thinkers in Marxism and Critical Theory, Adorno and Marx combines both breadth and depth of analysis to address the central topics for engaging with the global political economy, as well as the cutting-edge of critical social theory and practice."--
