Mario Tronti

Mario Tronti was an Italian philosopher and Marxist theorist known for his work on labor and class dynamics. He focused on how workers and capital interact within society, emphasizing the importance of workers’ active role in shaping economic and social change. Tronti introduced the idea of “class composition,” highlighting that the way classes are organized and evolve influences political strategies.
