States of Crisis and Post-Capitalist Scenarios engages with the crisis of our capitalist
world, with a view to explaining its origins, unravelling its
symptoms, and demystifying the anodyne corrective solutions so far proposed. At the same
time, it endorses the
necessity for
utopian interventions aimed at drastically rethinking our
social order. Organised around the themes of
economy and
politics, critical
theory, and
culture in order to offer an impressive range of thematic perspectives and critical angles, the book delves into the most pressing of today’s quandaries by combining stringent critical
analysis with creative foresight. A rigorous examination of the current crisis of late-capitalist
society,
States of Crisis and Post-Capitalist Scenarios develops paradigms that promise to rekindle the
desire to move beyond
capitalism towards a different social order. As such, it will appeal to scholars and students across the humanities and social
sciences with
particular interests in social and
political theory, contemporary
philosophy and the crises faced by the current capitalist order.
