Synopsis "Cannibal Capitalism: How our System is Devouring Democracy, Care, and the Planet – and What we can do About it"

A trenchant look at contemporary capitalism's insatiable appetite--and a rallying cry for everyone who wants to stop it from devouring our world Capital is currently cannibalizing every sphere of life-guzzling wealth from nature and racialized populations, sucking up our ability to care for each other, and gutting the practice of politics. In this tightly argued and urgent volume, leading Marxist feminist theorist Nancy Fraser charts the voracious appetite of capital, tracking it from crisis point to crisis point, from ecological devastation to the collapse of democracy, from racial violence to the devaluing of care work. These crisis points all come to a head in Covid-19, which Fraser argues can help us envision the resistance we need to end the feeding frenzy. What we need, she argues, is a wide-ranging socialist movement that can recognize the rapaciousness of capital--and starve it to death.

Es una de las exponentes más destacadas del feminismo y la teoría crítica actuales. Formada al calor de las luchas por los derechos civiles y contra la Guerra de Vietnam, encara de modo heterodoxo la filosofía y la política, disciplinas que enseña en la New School for Social Research neoyorquina. Desde esa perspectiva, integra a su investigación una relectura de una enorme biblioteca –que va de Gramsci a la primera generación de la escuela de Frankfurt, la deconstrucción, Bourdieu y Foucault– para proponer críticas a la desigualdad y la explotación que no se vuelvan funcionales al neoliberalismo imperante, sino que se afiancen en un bloque de lucha por la auténtica justicia económica y social. Docente y doctora Honoris Causa en los principales centros de Europa y América, es autora de influyentes libros como Feminismo para el 99%, Iustitia Interrupta y Escalas de justicia. Sus cursos actuales indagan textos de Karl Marx (Gründisse) o Walter Benjamin, además de la relación entre capitalismo, naturaleza y crítica.
