It's admirable that Saitō wants to rewrite Marx's legacy, but to base the entirety of his thought on unpublished material seems like a bit of a cop out to me. Even if Marx's thinking did transform into a more egalitarian and less eurocentric theory of economy late in his life, it transformed too late--The letter that Saitō cites as the "culmination" of his thought was written just two years before his death

Listening to the audiobook. Depressing but important. It's definitely weird to have a mainstream author cite world systems theory in his work lol, really bringing my international relations education to life
