A scintillating conversation on capitalism and crisis from two of our most incisive political philosophers

Capitalism, by the twenty-first century, has brought us an era of escalating, overlapping crisis-ecological, political, social-which we may not survive.

In this brilliant, wide-ranging conversation, political philosophers Nancy Fraser and Rahel Jaeggi identify capitalism as the source of the devastation and examine its in-built tendency to crisis. In an exchange that ranges across history, critical theory, ecology, feminism and political theory, Fraser and Jaeggi find that capitalism's tendency to separate what is connected-human from non-human nature, commodity production and social reproduction-is at the heart of its crisis tendency.

These boundary struggles, Fraser and Jaeggi conclude, constitute capitalism's most destructive power but are also the sites where a fighting left movement might be able to halt the destruction and build the non-capitalist future we so desperately need.

A crucial text for students of political theory, economic theory, and social change, Capitalism offers an invigorated critique of twenty-first century capitalism and an incisive study of our current conjuncture.
