Multitude / Michael Hardt, Antonio Negri

By colonizing and interconnecting more areas of life ever more deeply, empire has actually created the possibility for a revolutionary kind of democracy. Now the previously silent, oppressed 'masses' can form a multitude capable of bringing about radical steps in the liberation of humankind. Exhilarating in its ambition, range and depth of insight, Multitude consolidates the stature of its authors as two of the world's most exciting and important political philosophers.
