117 | Hardt and Negri's Empire, 25 Years...

Lillian Cicerchia, Owen Glyn-Williams, Gil Morejón, and William Paris

About this episode

In this episode, we discuss Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri’s Empire. First published in 2000, this seminal post-Marxist text analyzed changes to power, sovereignty, and class structure in the age of globalization. Twenty-five years ago, it was the Left who was anti-globalization. Today, it’s the Right. So, we might ask, are we still in the Age of Empire?
