Consequences of Capitalism: Manufacturing Discontent and Resistance

by Marv Waterstone, Noam Chomsky
Consequences of Capitalism: Manufacturing Discontent and Resistance - Thryft
Consequences of Capitalism: Manufacturing Discontent and Resistance - Thryft

Dissecting capitalism's impact and avenues for resistance.

If you've been feeling the strain of economic inequalities or wondering about the stark repercussions of our current system, "Consequences of Capitalism" offers not just a diagnosis but also glimmers of hope through resistance. Noam Chomsky, a trusted voice in socio-political critique, pairs with Waterstone to navigate through the complexities of societal structures. The book doesn't just criticize; it arms you with an understanding to envision a more equitable world. It's a read that might just redefine your take on capitalism and your role in the socio-political landscape.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

An essential primer on capitalism, politics and how the world works, based on the hugely popular undergraduate lecture series 'What is Politics?'Is there an alternative to capitalism? In this landmark text Chomsky and Waterstone chart a critical map for a more just and sustainable society.'Covid-19 has revealed glaring failures and monstrous brutalities in the current capitalist system. It represents both a crisis and an opportunity. Everything depends on the actions that people take into their own hands.'How does politics shape our world, our lives and our perceptions? How much of 'common sense' is actually driven by the ruling classes' needs and interests? And how are we to challenge the capitalist structures that now threaten all life on the planet?Consequences of Capitalism exposes the deep, often unseen connections between neoliberal 'common sense' and structural power. In making these linkages, we see how the current hegemony keeps social justice movements divided and marginalized. And, most importantly, we see how we can fight to overcome these divisions.
