Books in Plato's Cave: May 2026

This blog's newsletter is distributed to 20,000 academics worldwide. In this blog, you will find a new perspective that complicates what you thought you knew or that gives you a fresh starting point for looking for perplexing but constructive theory. I want to explode the common misconceptions about a topic I have always been fascinated by: the future of capitalism. Marx had said for Hegel, "He was standing on his head and must be turned right side up,” and I want to do the same to Marx as he had done to Hegel. “At a certain stage of development, the material productive forces of society come into conflict with the existing relations of production… Then begins an era of social revolution. The changes in the ///economic/// [technological-VB] foundation lead sooner or later to the transformation of the whole immense superstructure.” Karl Marx
