Folge vom 09.05.2020From the archives: Beyond Economism with Nancy FraserDan is playing catch up. Here’s a fav interview from the archives: critical theorist Nancy Fraser on how a total analysis of capitalism requires analyzing capitalism’s totality, including socially reproductive work that makes possible the world that capitalism exploits. This is painfully relevant today as people everywhere do the work of staying at home and social distancing to beat this pandemic while capitalists reap the rewards of the world’s reproduction.
