Foreword / by Stuart Holland -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction : the legacy and the crisis -- Alternative solutions -- It's not what you have, it's what you do : the return of the division-of-labour view of class -- Exploitation is not a game : a critique of John Roemer -- Reconstructing the fundamental concepts -- Back to basics : reproduction, subsistence, exploitation, class -- A dual theory of exploitation and price -- If profit is the answer, what should be the question? -- What price value? : beyond the transformation problem and the Sraffian critique -- Integrating the two concepts of class -- A beast of many faces : complex exploitation the sphere of necessity and the sphere of freedom.

Marx expected the working class to create 'a movement of immense majority, in the interests of immense majority'. However, there is not and never has been such a movement. At least a part of the reason is that the traditional Marxist picture of a two-class polarisation bears little resemblance to the diverse and complex society of today's Western world. In this book, Michal Polak attempts to move beyond the austerity of the two-class model to come closer to the empirical realities. In the process, the author re-examines the very foundations of the Marxist theory, demonstrating how an important critique of the theory can in fact be fruitfully interpreted as a generalisation of it. While remaining true to the Marxian spirit, he comes up with original and innovative extensions of the traditional concepts, which finally allow for the explanation of the diverse class map of the advance capitalist societies.
