Summary
The far-reaching transformation of the world in recent decades has dramatically indicated that contemporary critical theory must be centrally concerned with questions of historical dynamics and large-scale structural changes if it is to be adequate for our social universe. A critical theory of capitalism based on the Marxian category of capital could significantly illuminate these historical developments, but only if it is fundamentally reconceptualized in ways that distinguish it from various understandings of capital in traditional Marxist interpretations as well as in recent social sciences discourses.
