About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

An essential primer on capitalism, politics and how the world works, based on the hugely popular undergraduate lecture series 'What Is Politics?'

Is there an alternative to capitalism? In this landmark text, Chomsky and Waterstone chart a critical map for a more just and sustainable society.

COVID-19 has revealed glaring failures and monstrous brutalities in the current capitalist system. It represents both a crisis and an opportunity. Everything depends on the actions that people take into their own hands.

How does politics shape our world, our lives and our perceptions? How much of 'common sense' is actually driven by the ruling classes' needs and interests? And how are we to challenge the capitalist structures that now threaten all life on the planet?

Consequences of Capitalism exposes the deep, often unseen connections between neoliberal 'common sense' and structural power. In making these linkages, we see how the current hegemony keeps social justice movements divided and marginalised. And, most importantly, we see how we can fight to overcome these divisions.

A Necessary Read

Unilateral, though. All those democracies destroyed by the US which never recovered, compared with ones under the iron curtain, which fought to integrate into whichever structure available.
In short, criticizing the US is important, but insufficient. US doesn’t act in a void and democracy is not a one time thing. It is the only reasonable path we have.
