matthew4's review against another edition
4.0
"The bible of Operaismo" as it has been called truly lives up to its name. Admittedly though I would not dive into this text straight away; a basic knowledge of the ideas behind Operaismo and the context they were developing in are important, and the complicated nature of these ideas and Tronti's writing style requires one to go through this book slowly, one essay at a time. However, if you can take the time and care to do so, the ideas that Tronti is putting forward can truly blow you out of the water - particularly those of 'Marx Yesterday and Today' and 'Lenin in England'.
Unfortunately this English translation is let down slightly by its format, in which an introduction to the context of each text would be more than welcomed. There are also a few translation and grammatical errors that alter the nature of some of the essays.
Overall though an extremely important book that I am very glad was finally translated in full into English!
