Abstract

This short essay reviews Fredric Jameson's book on the first volume of Karl Marx's Capital. It follows Jameson's argument that Capital is basically about unemployment and the central figure and the historical subject of the volume, as well as of the capitalist mode of production as it depicts, is the free worker. Two planes of reality, the trans-historical economics of human society and the historical organization of production and distribution, are tentatively presented for questioning Jameson's ultimate claim that Capital does not provide any political conclusion.
