The blind dynamic of capital accumulation decides many of the most fundamental social questions behind our backs. Now, it is high time to put them on the political agenda.
In our first episode Nancy Fraser debates her recent analysis of capitalism’s ecological contradictions and crises tendencies with Rahel Jaeggi. What does the acute threat of climate catastrophe mean for our relation to nature? What kind of crisis is it that we are facing and why is capitalism unable to solve it? How are the manifold struggles over ecology, anti-racism, care-work and democracy interconnected? Join us for answers in this first episode of Critical Theory in Context with Nancy Fraser and Rahel Jaeggi.
