Overview

Humanity has not succeeded in securing the basis of life for all people. A major reason is the dominant global capitalist economy, which is based on the exploitation and use of nature-but this state of affairs is not accepted by everyone. This book provides a close socio-analytical look at how states, social movements, and civil society actors deal with this polycrisis. The book concludes with an interview with Nancy Fraser about 'Cannibal Capitalism'.

Reviews

Ausgehend von dem Standpunkt der Kapitalismuskritik – Kapitalismus wird hier sowohl als ökonomisches System, als auch als Lebensweise betrachtet – zeigt der Band unter sozio-analytischer Perspektive soziale Krisen auf, die durch kapitalistische, strukturelle Gleichgültigkeit entstanden sind. Wie mit jenen Krisentendenzen in verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Sektoren umgegangen wird, wird mit Blick auf Makrodynamiken aber auch subjektive Interpretation erforscht. https://www.frauensolidaritaet.org/
