Managerial Capitalism

Gérard Duménil and Dominique Lévy

in University of Chicago Press Economics Books from University of Chicago Press

Abstract: Marxist analysis has traditionally been built on a two-class framework: workers and capitalists. With Managerial Capitalism , Gerard Duménil and Dominique Lévy mount a powerful argument that such a framework is outdated—we are in fact amid a transition to a new mode of production, one that is fundamentally shaped by a third, intermediary class: managerialism. Drawing examples from the United States and Europe, the authors offer a historically rooted interpretation of major current economic and political trends. Without eschewing Marx’s theory of history and political economy, they update it to take account of the changes underway in class patterns and relationships to production. The result is a robust new Marxism for the present and the future.
