Grace Blakeley × Matthew Cole

Summary

Grace Blakeley provided a blurb endorsing Matthew Cole’s book ‘Unpaid: The Past, Present and Future of Wage Theft’ (Verso, forthcoming May 2026). Her endorsement reads: ‘An absolutely essential guide to capitalist class relations. Unpaid unflinchingly catalogues the reality of labour exploitation under capitalism, presenting Marx’s most important ideas in a clear, succinct and compelling way’ — Grace Blakeley, author of Vulture Capitalism. Additionally, both Grace Blakeley and Matthew Cole (with co-authors Hugo Radice and Charles Umney) contributed separate chapters to the same volume, ‘Beyond Digital Capitalism: New Ways of Living’ (Socialist Register 2021), where Cole et al. wrote ‘The political economy of datafication and work: A new digital Taylorism?’ and Blakeley wrote ‘The big tech monopolies and the state’.
