The text has influenced thinkers such as Judith Butler, Ernesto Laclau and Slavoj Žižek. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe piece is, in fact, an extract from a much longer book, \u003ci\u003eOn the Reproduction of Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e, until now unavailable in English. Its publication makes possible a reappraisal of seminal Althusserian texts already available in English, their place in Althusser's oeuvre and the relevance of his ideas for contemporary theory. \u003ci\u003eOn the Reproduction of Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e develops Althusser's conception of historical materialism, outlining the conditions of reproduction in capitalist society and the revolutionary struggle for its overthrow. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Written in the afterglow of May 1968, the text addresses a question that continues to haunt us today: in a society that proclaims its attachment to the ideals of liberty and equality, why do we witness the ever-renewed reproduction of relations of domination? Both a conceptually innovative text and a key theoretical tool for activists, \u003ci\u003eOn the Reproduction of Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential addition to the corpus of the twentieth-century Left.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLouis Althusser\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Algeria in 1918 and died in France in 1990.
