Multitude: War and Democracy in the Age of Empire

by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri

Multitude: War and Democracy in the Age of Empire Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In their international bestseller Empire, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri presented a grand unified vision of a world in which the old forms of imperialism are no longer effective. But what of Empire in an age of "American empire"? Has fear become our permanent condition and democracy an impossible dream? Such pessimism is profoundly mistaken, the authors argue. Empire, by interconnecting more areas of life, is actually creating the possibility for a new kind of democracy, allowing different groups to form a multitude, with the power to forge a democratic alternative to the present world order. Exhilarating in its optimism and depth of insight, Multitude consolidates Hardt and Negri's stature as two of the most important political philosophers at work in the world today.

Synopsis:

With enormous intellectual depth, historical perspective, and positive, enabling spirit, the renowned authors of "Empire"--two visionary theoreticians of the new global order--lay down a powerful case for hope in today's supranational world.
