Capitalist relations are undergoing systemic transformation and becoming something that might even be worse.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBringing together analyses from different fields--law, technology, Marxism, and psychoanalysis--Jodi Dean shows the direction the contemporary world is heading: neofeudalism. Feudalism isn't just a metaphor. It's the operating system for the present. Politics and plunder thrive in the capitalist pursuit of profit, and the many are bound to serve the few, coerced into a system of rents, destruction, and hoarding driven by privilege and dependence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe question is: In a society of serfs and servants, how do we get free? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith the rise of neofeudalism, and as more and more workers are drawn into the service sector--from nurses to Uber and delivery drivers--Dean argues that we can see the emergence of a new vanguard, the class that can lead the struggle for liberation from oppression and exploitation: what she calls the servant vanguard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJodi Dean teaches political, feminist, and media theory in Geneva, New York.
