S03E29 - Nancy Fraser on Alternatives to Capitalism
Future Histories
Kritik am Kapitalismus und Wege zum Sozialismus
In diesem Kapitel wird die Kritik am Kapitalismus beleuchtet, insbesondere die Ausbeutung von Lohnarbeitern und die Relevanz nicht entlohnter Arbeit. Es wird diskutiert, wie durch demokratische Prozesse und partizipativen Haushalt Herausforderungen im Sozialismus angegangen werden können. Zudem wird die Bedeutung einer pluralistischen Perspektive hervorgehoben, um verschiedene soziale Anliegen und die Notwendigkeit eines gerechten Systems zu integrieren.
Nancy Fraser discusses her understanding of capitalism as an integrated social order and explores its implications for envisioning a desirable postcapitalism.
