"My sense is that Gulli's work will renew once again the Marxist tradition. It is a very philosophical approach to Marx that is nonetheless centred on the concept of labour and its power of social transformation." Michael Hardt, Duke University "This is an important book for three interrelated reasons: It reminds us of why Marx still matters. It probes for what might be the promise for humanity...and it highlights the centrality of labour to human freedom, creativity, and happiness." Labour/Le Travail "The introductory chapter...features numerous cogent statements...Gulli offers a Marxist critique of political economy, and there is much value in studying the idea of productive and unproductive labor from a Marxist standpoint. In fact, I believe it is the best way to understand modern capitalism and class exploitation...In Labor of Fire, Marx is made very intriguing...Gulli's thesis that labor is a sovereign, self-determining quality unattached to the marketplace is a message that labor education students would benefit from hearing."
