Harry Cleaver has developed a global following for his decades of work contributing to what he calls “autonomist Marxism,” a Marxism that focuses on the self-organized struggles of workers against capitalism. His classic book Reading Capital Politically (1979) reinterprets Marx to provide an alternative, autonomist perspective not only to more traditional interpretations, but also to others working in the tradition of what today is more commonly known as Italian workerism. Reading Capital Politically has been translated into eight languages, including Korean which was banned by the South Korean government, and has appeared in two editions. Harry has taught at the l’Université de Sherbrooke in Quebec, the New School for Social Research in New York City, and the University of Texas at Austin where he taught for thirty-six years until his retirement in 2012. He has also published 33 Lessons on Capital: Reading Marx Politically (Pluto 2019), Rupturing the Dialectic: The Struggle Against Work, Money and Financialization (AK Press 2019), and The Fragile Juggernaut: Marx and Engels on Capitalism, Class Struggle and Crisis (Brill 2025). The third English language edition of Reading Capital Politically will be published in 2027 by Common Notions.
