Michael Hardt is an American literary theorist and political philosopher, widely recognized for his collaborative work. Together, they analyze the forces of contemporary class oppression, globalization, and the commodification of services, highlighting their potential to instigate social change. They propose that the 'multitude' can serve as the locus for a democratic movement on a global scale. Their writings offer critical insights into the dynamics of power and resistance in the modern world.
Each year an eruption of leaderless social movements leaves external observers and activists perplexed. Why have the movements, which address the needs and desires of so many, not been able to achieve lasting change? In Assembly, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri analyze potential paths for creating a more democratic and just society.
Drawing on scenarios from around the globe and elucidating the themes that unite them, this title focus on the logic of institutions and the models of governance adequate to our understanding of a global commonwealth.
In The Subversive Seventies, Michael Hardt sets out to show that popular understandings of the political movements of the seventies--often seen as fractious, violent, and largely unsuccessful--are not just inaccurate, but foreclose valuable lessons for the political struggles of today. Looking at a wide range of movements around the globe during the 1970s, from the United States, to Guinea Bissau, South Korea, Chile, Turkey, and Italy, Hardt argues that the movements of the 1970s identified and attempted to resolve the political problems that still face contemporary radical political thought and action.
'Multitude' offers an inspiring vision of how people of the world can come together in a globally networked community to create a new kind of democracy. Hardt and Negri explain how empire, by colonizing and interconnecting more areas of life ever more deeply, has created the possibility for democracy of a sort never seen before.

Finanz- und Umweltkrisen haben gezeigt: Die Welt braucht eine neue politische Ordnung. In ihrer Streitschrift entwerfen Michael Hardt und Antonio Negri den Weg dorthin. Inspiriert von den weltweiten Protestbewegungen beschreiben sie das Projekt einer Demokratie von unten: Wenn wir uns den Schulden verweigern, aus der Überwachung befreien, neue Netze politischer Information schaffen und die entleerte repräsentative Demokratie durch lebendige Formen der Beteiligung ersetzen, können wir eine neue Verfassung begründen. Eine, in der Wasser, Banken, Bildung und andere Ressourcen »commons«, Gemeingüter sind. Auf diesem Weg können wir die Folgen der Finanzkrise, die drängenden Umweltprobleme und die wachsende soziale Ungleichheit überwinden.
