💥Workers’ Inquiry: The Politics Of A Method - Issue 27 of Notes From Below is now in print and on its way to our subscribers!

🔍This issue of Notes from Below focuses on the politics of workers’ inquiry. For us, it is the method that can begin to lay the foundations for a new practice: beginning with the actual experience of capitalist exploitation in the workplace, but also with the technical knowledge needed to transform society. The aim is to support the emergence of new centres of rank-and-file activity and link these up into a larger movement. With contributions from the US, Brazil and across the UK, this issue reflects on both the politics and the method of putting this into practice.
