Time, Labor and Social Domination: A Reinterpretation of Marx's Critical Theory is a 1993 book by the scholar Moishe Postone released by Cambridge University Press.
Furthermore, Postone states that the transformations undergone by the global capitalist order reveal a profound structural historical dynamic, which is what Marx analyzed.
Postone asserts that, in contrast to the conventional view of the Soviet Union as a communist society, the differences between "West and East" are in fact part of a more complex whole, where the Soviet Union was a (failed) variant of the same capital accumulation regime rather than an alternative to capitalism.
This is not only because the Soviet Union exploited the working class, but also because it was part of a global, temporal structuring and restructuring of capitalism.
Basically, capitalist society is structured by a new underlying level of social relations constituted by this historically specific form of labor.
The temporal dynamic of value is at the root of the historical logic of capital, according to the argument put forth by Postone.
In the case of cooperation and manufacture, capital's appropriation of concrete labor appears to be a question of ownership.
In other words, capitalist society generates a complex historical dynamic, a directed movement without external telos, as a dialectical and open totality.
