Aiming to root out the lost cause of this implosion, Fabio Vighi returns to Marx by way of Hegel, Lacan, Gorz, Baudrillard, and other thinkers who, in different ways, have reflected on the complex dialectical structure of modernity and its hidden conditions of possibility. Capitalism, Vighi argues, fundamentally redefined the meaning of work and prevented the emergence of alternative forms of life. In our own time, the delusions of work and the values that propel life under capitalism have become, in Vighi's analysis, \u003ci\u003eunworkable\u003c\/i\u003e. And yet, even as we become an increasingly \"workless\" society, we continue to abide by the same laws of productivity and profit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFabio Vighi\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Italian and Critical Theory at Cardiff University.
