The Value of Marx’s Capital

Lucia Pradella is Senior Lecturer in International Political Economy at King’s College London. She holds a PhD in philosophy from the University of Naples Federico II and Paris 10 Nanterre. She collaborated on the historical-critical edition of Marx’s and Engels’s complete works at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities and has written two books on Marx’s Capital. Her second book, Globalization and the Critique of Political Economy (2014), traces the evolution of Marx’s understanding of capitalist globalization, colonialism, and anticolonial resistance in the light of his still partially unpublished notebooks on colonialism and the world market. Lucia has published extensively on labor, migration, imperialism, and alternatives to neoliberalism; she coedited the forthcoming Routledge Handbook of Marxism and Post-Marxism with Alex Callinicos and Stathis Kouvelakis.
