The Inexorable Fall

By Nicolas Villarreal

"A new generation of Marxist intellectuals has emerged, writing with a rigor, clarity, and independence rarely found in either academia or mainstream political discourse. Nicolas D. Villarreal is one of its most promising voices, writing with a coherence, ambition, and ease that allow him to illuminate the totality of the social order we inhabit. In The Inexorable Fall, he re-situates Marx's argument about the inexorable self-destruction of the capitalist order, and he enters some of the most important debates in contemporary Marxist political economy, to the theory of abstract domination, to the role of China and the fate of the liberal western capitalist order before opening an extended meditation on the problem of worker atomization and social isolation.

This is a wide-ranging yet deeply coherent book. The Inexorable Fall is a refreshing diagnosis of our present impasse, but it does not stop at critique. It hints at a vision of what a socialist future might be, one that is grounded in human flourishing, solidarity, and collective purpose."
- Daniel Tutt, Author: The People Are Not One: Socialist Strategy After Left Populism
