Abstract
The text provides a deep and critical review of Hardt and Negri’s Commonwealth. In his criticism Harvey focuses primarily on the perspective of class struggle, underestimated by the authors, as well as on the lack of developed analysis of fictitious capital and contemporary finanscialization of the economy. According to the geographer, in the Commonwealth too much emphasis is placed on consideration of Spinozian categories (such as singularity) and the issue of immateriality, which may result in drawing away Hardt and Negri’s attention from the formulation of a concrete proposals of political activities of the multitude.License
