Discussion with Nancy Fraser about her new book 'Cannibal Capitalism' (online)
In her new book 'Cannibal Capitalism. How Our System Is Devouring
Democracy, Care, and the Planet - and What We Can Do About It', Nancy
Fraser argues that capitalism is not restricted to economy, but a
societal order that empowers a profit-driven economy. This economy
annihilates our livelihoods, so we are in profound trouble. The book
offers a deep dive into the source of the horrible. One dimension is
that capitalism is structurally racist, confiscating resources and
capacities from subjected human beings. Another column is the
subjugation of reproduction under production, leading to our care
and ecological crisis. No Green New Deal will offer a solution, but an
anti-systemic transition. This requires public powers that are no
longer serving capital accumulation. Instead, Fraser claims for a
socialism of sustainability and with democratic control over the social
surplus in the 21st century.
