It is easy not to see it. We shall need to study, to look long and hard at the class situation of the working class. Capitalist society has its laws of development: economists have invented them, governments have imposed them, and workers have suffered them. But who will uncover the laws of development of the working class? Capital has its history, and its historians write it – but who is going to write the history of the working class?
-Mario Tronti, Lenin in England
I’m a researcher at the University of Western Ontario who is currently conducting research on labour in online economies. In my research, I have had some trouble acquiring an English translation of “Operai e Capitale”. What I am most interested in is Tronti’s essay “The Factory and Society”. I noticed that you have an entry on this blog pointing to such an essay; however, it seems as though it has yet to be translated.
Would you be in a position to tell me the time frame in which this particular essay will be translated into English and posted on your site, if at all? I would even be willing to contribute a nominal fee to such a process if it meant a reduction in time. Please feel free to contact me using the email I have left you.
