ReviewsSandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson outline a novel perspective on the startling disjunctive synthesis of homogenization and heterogenization processes that characterize the global expansion of capitalist economy. Their second collaborative, book-length study offers a compelling account of the economic, political, and social relations to which these movements respond., " The Politics of Operations is a challenging, highly ambitious work. . . . Ultimately, the reorientation that Mezzadra and Neilson are proposing is a subtle one, indebted to a rich archive of political ideas. But they rework and recombine those ideas into a book that is shrewdly reasoned, superbly written, and thick with insight into the contemporary moment." -- Martin Danyluk Society and Space "Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson outline a novel perspective on the startling disjunctive synthesis of homogenization and heterogenization processes that characterize the global expansion of capitalist economy.

SynopsisSandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson investigate how capital reshapes its relation with politics, showing how contemporary capitalism operates through the extraction of mineral resources, data, and cultures; the logistical organization of relations between people, property, and objects; and the penetration of financialization into all realms of economic life., In The Politics of Operations Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson investigate how capital reshapes its relation with politics through operations that enable the extraction and exploitation of mineral resources, labor, data, and cultures. They show how capital--which they theorize as a direct political actor--operates through the logistical organization of relations between people, property, and objects as well as through the penetration of financialization into all realms of economic life. Mezzadra and Neilson present a capacious analysis of a wide range of issues, from racial capitalism, the convergence of neoliberalism and nationalism, and Marx's concept of aggregate capital to the financial crisis of 2008 and how colonialism, empire, and globalization have shaped the modern state since World War II. In so doing, they illustrate the distinctive rationality and logics of contemporary capitalism while calling for a politics based on collective institutions that exist outside the state.
