In this important book, Rebecca Carson develops the concept of "immanent externalities" to grasp the non-capitalist life processes produced by—and necessary for—capitalist reproduction. Immanent Externalities thus considers the category of reproduction by means of a philosophical re-reading of the three volumes of Marx's Capital. In doing so, the book locates capitalism's fundamental contradiction as that between the reproduction of profit-driven activity and ecologically situated human life, suggesting new orientations for theory and practice today.

Rebecca Carson is a Tutor at the Royal College of Art. She has published widely on Marx and reproduction, including the articles "Fictitious Capital and the Re-emergence of Personal Forms of Domination" and "Non-capitalist Domination, Rentierism and the Politics of Class".
