Summary
Noam Chomsky, Marv Waterstone: The Consequences of Capitalism: Producing Discontent and Resistance
The covid-19 pandemic has exposed the great failings and terrible brutalities of today's capitalist system. Whether it will be just a crisis or an opportunity for change depends on what the people themselves will do. How does politics shape our world, our lives, our perceptions? How much of our "common sense" is governed by the needs and interests of the ruling classes? How can we oppose the capitalist structures that now threaten to destroy all life on this planet? "The Consequences of Capitalism" analyzes the deep, often overlooked connections between neoliberal "common sense" and power structures. By showing these connections, we see the way in which the ruling hegemony keeps social movements divided and marginalized and, most importantly, we see how we can fight against these divisions.
