‘Capitalism’ as False Consciousness
Studies in Language and Capitalism, Vol.1, pp.57-76

Abstract
The assertion on which this paper is based is that Capitalism has been superseded by Corporatism. I put forward an argument as to why Marxist scholars can and should abandon the idea that Capitalism still exists based on Marx's approach to understanding political economy. Further, I argue that Marx's method can be deployed to better understand and change the corporatist system in which we are currently living first by understanding what it means to be "labour" in a system governed by complex structures of debt.
