520    The Marxist conception of the division between mental and 
       manual labor is a critical yet unrecognized aspect of 
       contemporary political struggles. Departing from this 
       novel argument, Michael Bray traces the conceptual and 
       socio-political history of this labor division and 
       emphasizes how the forms of control and organization 
       articulated by that division in practices of production, 
       democracy, racialization, and financialization are 
       becoming increasingly important. Critiquing the left for 
       its tendency to side implicitly with the powers of mental 
       labor, Michael Bray shows that comprehending and 
       challenging those powers is a pivotal task for anti-
       capitalist politics today.
