La résistible marchandisation de la force de travail
Eustache Kouvelakis
The article argues that the renewed commodification of labour – the primary aim of
neo-liberal policies aimed at the destruction of long-established and hard-won social
rights – has played a major role in the commodification of a growing number of social
practices. The process of commodification is examined by way of a number of concepts
drawn from the Marxist tradition, which are then reappropriated within the current phase
of the neo-liberal counter-reform. The article concludes by way of an examination of this
process in relation to the issues raised by the anti-globalisation movement and, more
specifically, from the standpoint of the critique of commodity put forward by Naomi
Klein.
