Neoliberalism is fracturing, but what will emerge in its wake? The global political, ecological, economic, and social breakdown—symbolized by Trump’s election—has destroyed faith that neoliberal capitalism is beneficial to the majority. Nancy Fraser explores how this faith was built through the late twentieth century by balancing two central tenets: recognition (who deserves rights) and distribution (who deserves income). When these begin to fray, new forms of outsider populist politics emerge on the left and the right. These, Fraser argues, are symptoms of the larger crisis of hegemony for neoliberalism, a moment when, as Gramsci had it, “the old is dying and the new cannot be born.” In an accompanying interview with Jacobin publisher Bhaskar Sunkara, Fraser argues that we now have the opportunity to build progressive populism into an emancipatory social force.

Ein Gespräch über kritische Theorie
Worum handelt es sich eigentlich bei dieser eigenartigen Gesellschaftsform, die wir als >>Kapitalismus<< bezeichnen? Nancy Fraser und Rahel Jaeggi stellen uns im so intensiven wie kontroversen Gespräch seine verschiedenen historischen Formen vor, die stets auf der Trennung von Ökonomie und Politik, Produktion und Reproduktion, menschlicher Gesellschaft und Natur beruhten. Dabei verwerfen sie althergebrachte Vorstellungen vom Wesen des Kapitalismus und wie dieser zu kritisieren sei. Stattdessen liefern sie präzise Diagnosen der gegenwärtigen Krisen und Aufstände und analysieren die Handlungsspielräume linker Politik. (Quelle: buchhandel.de)
