Adorno's Critique of Political Economy
Series:
Author:
Translator:
To this day, there persists a widespread assumption that Adorno’s references to Marx – and especially to Marx’s critique of political economy – represent a relic from an early and short-lived stage of Adorno’s theoretical development. On the basis of relevant and largely unpublished textual sources, this book refutes this thesis while showing that the centre of Adorno’s critical theory of society is occupied by a critique not only of political economy, but of economy in general.
Dirk Braunstein, Dr. phil. (2011), Free University of Berlin, is research fellow at the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt, Germany. He has published several books, articles and editions on Adorno, recently
Die Frankfurter Seminare Theodor W. Adornos. Gesammelte Sitzungsprotokolle 1949–1969 [The Frankfurt Seminars of Theodor W. Adorno. Collected Minutes of Meetings 1949–1969]. 4 Volumes. Berlin und Boston: de Gruyter (2021)
This book is immediately relevant to philosophers, critical theorists, intellectual historians and other scholars (and students) who research Adorno or draw on his work in other ways.
