{"product_id":"market-and-violence","title":"Market And Violence","description":"\u003cp\u003eDespite their many disagreements when it comes to the subject of capitalism, Marxist and market-liberal perspectives seem to agree about one thing: the economic structures of capitalist market society have made direct violence against the person not only superfluous, but economically counterproductive. Heide Gerstenberger''s \u003cem\u003eMarket and Violence\u003c\/em\u003e does not contest the thesis that there has been, in many places, a decline in the use of violence in the pursuit of profit. But it demolishes the assumption that this can be put down to the evolution of economic rationality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy means of a deep engagement with the concrete historical reality of capitalist economies, Gerstenberger establishes that, wherever capitalism has been tamed, this has been achieved only by a combination of energetic social contestation and political intervention. First published in German in 2018, the present English-language edition makes a sweeping history of capitalist violence by one of the preeminent theorists of capitalist society working today available to a wider readership.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinner of the 2023 Isaac and Tamara Deutscher Memorial Prize.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57401620922750,"sku":"NW9781642599909","price":51.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781642599909.jpg?v=1778611660","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/market-and-violence","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
