Description

Cannibal Capitalism: A Trenchant Analysis of Contemporary Capitalism's Insatiable Appetite Nancy Fraser's latest work offers a scathing critique of contemporary capitalism's voracious appetite, tracing its destructive impact on the environment, racialized populations, and the practice of politics. The author charts the crisis points of capital, from ecological devastation to the collapse of democracy, and argues that the COVID-19 pandemic presents a unique opportunity to envision a resistance to the feeding frenzy of capitalism. Fraser's tightly argued volume calls for a wide-ranging socialist movement that can recognize the rapaciousness of capital and work to starve it of its power. This urgent analysis is a worthwhile read for anyone seeking to understand the root causes of the world's most pressing problems and to imagine a more just and equitable future.
