Cannibal Capitalism

A trenchant look at contemporary capitalism's insatiable appetite - and a rallying cry for everyone who wants to stop it from devouring our world

A trenchant look at contemporary capitalism’s insatiable appetite - and a rallying cry for everyone who wants to stop it from devouring our world

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Capital is currently cannibalising every sphere of life—guzzling wealth from nature and racialised populations, sucking up our ability to care for each other, and gutting the practice of politics.

In this tightly argued and urgent volume, leading Marxist feminist theorist Nancy Fraser charts the voracious appetite of capital, tracking it from crisis point to crisis point, from ecological devastation to the collapse of democracy, from racial violence to the devaluing of care work.

These crisis points all come to a head in Covid-19, which Fraser argues can help us envision the resistance we need to end the feeding frenzy.

Cannibal Capitalism explores what we need, she argues, which is a wide-ranging socialist movement that can recognise the rapaciousness of capital—and starve it to death.
