'This is an ambitious and comprehensive collection of essays that cover a neglected aspect of the work of the philosopher Giorgio Agamben. In addition, it focuses on the work that followed Homo Sacer and in which "economy" and resistance increasingly figure. It offers an excellent range of essays accessible to the serious student as well as the specialist.' Michael Dillon, Lancaster University Giorgio Agamben's thinking about economy and government, revolt and revolution Giorgio Agamben's analysis of sovereignty was profoundly influential for critical theory as it grappled with issues of security and state violence in the wake of 11 September 2001. But what does his work have to say in an age characterised by financial crisis and political revolts? The twelve essays in this volume provide new perspectives on economy and political action by analysing Agamben's recent work on government, his account of a non-statist politics and his relationship to the revolutionary tradition. It includes a new essay by Agamben himself, entitled 'Capitalism as Religion'. Daniel McLoughlin is Senior Lecturer in the Law School at the University of New South Wales, Australia.
