Much of the intellectual left has lost the habit, the means or even the will to oppose capitalism not just in practice but in theory.
Abstract:
-
Excerpt:
Today we are confronting the real world of capitalism in a way we haven't seen for a long time. Since the crisis of 2008 and the disastrous austerity project that has followed, it has been hard not to recognize the brutal systemic effects of capitalism or the grim realities of class.
There have been some promising signs of new oppositional movements, like Occupy, which, if they haven’t yet produced a coherent political movement, have certainly begun to change the conversation on the consequences of capitalism and class inequalities. Yet much of the intellectual left has lost the habit, the means or even the will to oppose capitalism not just in practice but in theory.
