Spanning a wide range of topics, including history, critical theory, ecology, feminism, and political theory, Fraser and Jaeggi identify capitalism as the root cause of the separation between human and non-human nature, commodity production, and social reproduction. They argue that these boundary struggles, which are often portrayed as destructive, hold the potential to be the sites where a resilient left movement can intervene and halt the destruction, paving the way for a non-capitalist future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCapitalism, by the twenty-first century, has brought us an era of escalating, overlapping crises - 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 460g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 198 x 129 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781839765117\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nancy Fraser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44324632592634,"sku":"9781839765117","price":11.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1688725882679_book.jpg?v=1688790794","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/capitalism-a-conversation-in-critical-theory-9781839765117","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
