Verso Capitalism A Conversation in Critical Theory (PB) by Nancy Fraser And Rahel Jaeggi
Capitalism, By The Twenty-First Century, Has Brought Us An Era Of Escalating, Overlapping Crisis - Ecological, Political, Social - Which We May Not Survive. In This Brilliant, Wide-Ranging Conversation, Political Philosophers Nancy Fraser And Rahel Jaeggi Identify Capitalism As The Source Of The Devastation And Examine Its In-Built Tendency To Crisis. In An Exchange That Ranges Across History, Critical Theory, Ecology, Feminism And Political Theory, Fraser And Jaeggi Find That Capitalism'S Tendency To Separate What Is Connected - Human From Non-Human Nature, Commodity Production And Social Reproduction - Is At The Heart Of Its Crisis Tendency. These "Boundary Struggles," Fraser And Jaeggi Conclude, Constitute Capitalism'S Most Destructive Power But Are Also The Sites Where A Fighting Left Movement Might Be Able To Halt The Destruction And Build The Non-Capitalist Future We So Desperately Need.A Crucial Text For Students Of Political Theory, Economic Theory, And Social Change, Capitalism Offers An Invigorated Critique Of Twenty-First Century Capitalism And An Incisive Study Of Our Current Conjuncture.
