In the last 50 years we've transitioned to a new form of capitalism. I call that state managed capitalism. You could call it social democratic capitalism. Some people used to call it monopoly capitalism. Prefer to call it financialized capitalism. It's very different from the previous regime of capitalism, which flourisheda at least in the us. The usual marxian story about class struggle doesn't fully count for struggles outside the work place proper,. If we had a wider sense of what we meant by class.
Featuring Nancy Fraser on why a total analysis of capitalism requires taking Marxism beyond a narrowly economistic view: what everyday labor exploitation requires from politics, care work, war-making, borders, appropriation of nature, sexism, racism, and more. Dan's 2018 interview from the archives.
