ABSTRACT This essay introduces the special issue entitled “Capital and Contemporary Critique: a Stellenbosch Seminar Series”. It situates the contributions by briefly engaging previous Marxist theorisations of South Africa and their criticisms. It argues that capitalism continues to shape contemporary social life, and requires analysis, albeit without repeating the shortcomings of older Marxist analyses.
