Außerdem präsentiert er Konzepte wie gespaltene Währungen und selbstverwaltete Betriebe. Benanav hebt hervor, wie alternative Rationalitäten zu besseren Entscheidungsprozessen führen können und thematisiert die Rolle zivilgesellschaftlicher Assoziationen in dieser neuen Wirtschaft.

S03E46 - Rahel Jaeggi zur Krise des Liberalismus, Fortschritt als Prozess und sozialistischem Utopisieren

Rahel Jaeggi, Professorin für praktische Philosophie und Sozialphilosophie an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, diskutiert die Krise des Liberalismus und alternative Ansätze zur Emanzipation.

Zudem betont sie die Notwendigkeit kollektiven Handelns und die Transformation bestehender Strukturen. Jaeggi reflektiert über persönliche Freude und den Kampf gegen Autoritarismus sowie die Bedeutung sozialistischer Konzepte für die gegenwärtigen Herausforderungen.
