Summer Reading: The Old is Dying and the New Cannot Be Born

Love this little pamphlet-essay by Nancy Fraser! Some great quotes:

“The progressive-neoliberal bloc combined an expropriative, plutocratic economic program with a liberal-meritocratic politics of recognition.” page 12

“While social life as such is increasingly economized, the unfettered pursuit of profits destabilizes the very forms of social reproduction, ecological sustainability, and public power on which it depends. Seen this way, financialized capitalism is an inherently crisis-prone social formation.” page 38
