b'We kick off the TMK book club with the excellent new book \\u2013 Mute Compulsion by S\\xf8ren Mau \\u2013 which offers a foundational analysis of power, value, capital, and social reproduction. Mau\\u2019s book is written with a real analytical clarity that advances our critical, theoretical understanding of the relations and operations of those things in society and our lives. We set the context for the book and our approach before discussing the Introduction chapter, which established the book\\u2019s motivating questions and overarching argument about the need to pay special attention to the economic power of capital.\\n\\n\\u2022\\u2022\\u2022 Mute Compulsion: A Marxist Theory of the Economic Power of Capital \\u2013 S\\xf8ren Mau https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/2759-mute-compulsion \\n\\u2022\\u2022\\u2022 Communism is Freedom \\u2013 S\\xf8ren Mau https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/blogs/news/communism-is-freedom \\n\\nHosted by Jathan Sadowski (www.twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).
