Books by Michael Hardt

With Commonwealth, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri conclude the trilogy begun with Empire and continued in Multitude, proposing an ethics of freedom for living in our common world and articulating a possible constitution for our common wealth.

This work offers a key to understanding the works of Gilles Deleuze, a major figure in the intellectual history of the late-20th century

Empire, as Hardt and Negri demonstrate, is the new political order of globalization. Their book shows how this emerging structure is fundamentally different from the imperialism of European dominance and capitalist expansion in previous eras. Rather, today's Empire draws on the hybrid identities and expanding frontiers of U.S. constitutionalism.
