In this important new book, Nancy Fraser and Rahel Jaeggi take a fresh
look at the big questions surrounding the peculiar social form known
as “capitalism,” upending many of our commonly held assumptions
about what capitalism is and how to subject it to critique. They show
how, throughout its history, various regimes of capitalism have relied
on a series of institutional separations between economy and polity,
production and social reproduction, and human and non-human nature,
periodically readjusting the boundaries between these domains in
response to crises and upheavals. They consider how these “boundary
struggles” offer a key to understanding capitalism’s
contradictions and the multiple forms of conflict to which it gives
rise.
What emerges is a renewed crisis critique of capitalism which puts our
present conjuncture into broader perspective, along with sharp
diagnoses of the recent resurgence of right-wing populism and what
would be required of a viable Left alternative. This major new book by
two leading critical theorists will be of great interest to anyone
concerned with the nature and future of capitalism and with the key
questions of progressive politics today.
