Between the Crisis of Democracy and the Crisis of Capitalism: A Forecast
English language
Published Nov. 4, 2018
In this in-depth analysis, Peter Gelderloos explores the technological and geopolitical changes that movements for liberation will face over the next several decades. How will those who hold power today attempt to weather the economic and political crises ahead? Will artificial intelligence and bioeconomics save capitalism? What’s more dangerous—governments refusing to address climate change, or the technocratic solutions they will propose? Will we see the rise of fascism, or the regeneration of democracy? If we study the challenges that capitalism and the state will confront, we can prepare to make the most of them to put forward another way of life.
An easy read, this is an overview of broad/global anti-capitalist strategy and an assessment of Gelderloos' opinions of the biggest threats and the best approaches to the future
Gelderloos often has unique ideas that I don't see expressed elsewhere, a very interesting thinker
