Abstract | In this essay Malott makes a case for a Marxist reading of education's role in expanding and reproducing capitalist societies. In the process he challenges the proposition that cognitive capitalism has fundamentally transformed the way in which capitalism operates. That is, rather than being guided by an internal capitalist logic, proponents of cognitive capitalism argue it is the autonomous actions of a fragmented, global labor force that has forced capital to shift its paradigm of social relations. In making his case Malott also rejects the neo-Marxist focus on culture as the primary cite of anti-capitalist struggle. A focus on private property, Malott contends, remains the center of capitalist power and should therefore be an important aspect of anti-capitalist resistance. Ultimately, Malott argues for a socialist pedagogy designed to foster the critical, class-consciousness needed for a democratic, collective struggle against an out-of-control global capitalist system.
