The Opposite of Growth Is Not Degrowth
I read this book from a Marxian tradition, and my three reservations are recognizably those a Marxist puts to a Foucauldian: that the framework struggles to say what makes capitalism historically distinctive, what makes capitalist production productive, and how either has ever been politically contested. Mitchell has been having that argument since Rule of Experts and will not be surprised. Two of the three have since been pressed from a similar direction by Jack Copley in New Left Review. The reader may discount accordingly.
