Marx and Whitehead; Process, Dialectics, and the Critique of Capitalism
Marx and Whitehead boldly asks us to reconsider capitalism, not merely as an "economic system" but as a fundamentally self-destructive mode that, by its very nature and operation, undermines the cohesive fabric of human existence.
