Why the neglected third volume of Capital holds the key to Marx's theory of value
The Automatic Fetish traces Marx’s analysis of capital, step by step, through the material compiled posthumously as the third volume of Capital. Identifying the critique of value as the central through line of the entire work, Beverley Best elaborates a theory of movement through which the capital machine generates social forms of appearance as the inversion of its inner operating mechanisms. Neither a return to basics nor a new-fangled reconstruction, The Automatic Fetish eschews novelty to show once again that Marx rewards careful study.
- ‘If I had to choose one book that would make the case for the relevance of Marx’s critique of political economy to the humanities, this might very well be it’ Colleen Lye, co-editor of After Marx
- ‘The contribution of The Automatic Fetish is hard to exaggerate’ Nicholas Brown, author of Autonomy
- ‘Will make a significant contribution to the wider field of materialist theory’ Joshua Clover, author of Riot. Strike. Riot
- ‘In Best’s hands, Capital becomes not only fascinating but useful, down to its last detail. Written with clarity, focus, and urgency, Best has “unreconstructed” Marx for our times’ Richard Dienst, author of The Bonds of Debt
- ‘A groundbreaking book’ Werner Bonefeld, author of A Critical Theory of Economic Compulsion
- ‘That rare work of theory whose practical implications just sing out loud … Surely among the most useful books on Capital III ever written’ Christopher Nealon, author of The Matter of Capital
- ‘Brilliant, eloquent, and precise. Best has given us one of the most profound re-readings of Capital to have appeared in a generation and an essential source’ Neil Larsen, author of Determinations

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The Automatic Fetish demonstrates the clarity and coherence of Marxs critique in Capital III against the perennial tendency to shrug it off as a posthumous bundle of notes. Far from an incomplete theoretical system, Best identifies and elaborates a specific theory of movement and appearances (a perceptual physics) that lies at the heart of the matter of the third volume of Capital, and that forms the conceptual bridge between Capital I, II, & III. In addition to the coherence of Marxs project, Best demonstrates the need for demonstration: Marxs theoretical system in Capital cannot be posited or described; rather, it must be demonstrated, and this is what Best does, step by step, through an exposition of each Part of Book Three. Neither a back to basics nor newfangled reconstruction, The Automatic Fetish eschews novelty to show why, once again, Marx deserves to be read carefully. By unreconstructing Marx, Best demonstrates how the analytical power of Marxs critique is as relevant today as it ever was for the analysis of the capitalist mode of production, which is still in the process of immiserating and destroying everything there is. The Automatic Fetish is an apologia of Marx without apologies.
