Italian Critical Thought demonstrates that there are theoretical and political alternatives to the grand narratives of neoliberalism; that the vocabulary of globalization, free market, competition, and crisis can be displaced by critical imagination and militant philosophy. This volume provides a necessary toolbox for naming the excess of politics and mobilizing what resists against, or escapes from, the horizon of the nation-state and its categories.
