It’s only taken fifty years, but Louis Althusser, Etienne Balibar, Roger Establet, Pierre Macherey, and Jacques Rancière’s Reading Capital: The Complete Edition is forthcoming from Verso.
Originally published in 1965, Reading Capital is a landmark of French thought and radical theory, which sought to reconstruct Western Marxism from its foundations. Previously only available in English in a highly abridged form, this fiftieth-anniversary edition restores original chapters by Roger Establet, Pierre Macherey and Jacques Rancière, accompanied by a major new introduction by Etienne Balibar on the book’s continued impact.
