Anni Kangas & Iuliia Gataulina & Mikko Poutanen & Anna Ilona Rajala & Henna-Elise Ventovirta : Retheorising capitalism
As climate catastrophe and the erosion of democracy heighten critical perspectives on capitalism, this collection offers diverse avenues for rethinking economic systems. Scholars from across disciplines and continents engage in reimagining capitalism and exploring alternatives.
The climate catastrophe and transgression of planetary boundaries, together with the erosion of democracy and rise of oligarchy, have intensified demands for critical reflection on capitalism. This edited collection explores ways to rethink capitalism through theoretical, conceptual, and empirical contributions. Some chapters of the book consider ways to repair capitalism, others to dismantle it. Some chapters criticise the capitalist-centredness of the political-economic discourse, suggesting alternative economic practices.
Retheorising, on the pages of this book, takes the form of reconceptualising, reimagining, representing, as well as repairing. From text-based analyses to visual collaging and pottery making, the chapters engage with capitalism in multifaceted ways. The book features contributions from scholars across the social sciences disciplines and geographical contexts including Europe, the Americas, and Oceania.
This peer reviewed volume is also available as an Open Access book.
