Geopolitical Economy

Karl Polanyi and Twenty-First-Century
Capitalism

Karl Polanyi and Twenty-First-Century Capitalism

This book examines the intellectual and political life of the historian of economic ideas, Tadeusz Kowalik. Kowalik grew up in a small town in the east of Poland, where he experienced the realities of poverty and social inequality in pre-War Polish capitalism before then being plunged into the horrors of Nazi occupation. He quickly advanced within the new socialist system installed after the War, cooperating with a group of critical socialist intellectuals that included Michal Kalecki and Oskar Lange who followed in the footsteps of Polish Marxist political economists such as Rosa Luxemburg. This book covers the work of Kowalik, and others from this Polish School of critical political economy, within the context of the unfolding events and debates occurring at the time. Kowalik participated in some of the most meaningful events in post-war Poland, culminating in him instigating a delegation of intellectuals to visit and advise strikers during the momentous strikes at the shipyards in Gdansk. After living abroad for most of the bleak 1980s, Kowalik returned to Poland as the transformation from socialism to capitalism began. He stood out as a vocal critic of the neoliberal form of capitalism installed in Poland, arguing that a range of alternatives to neoliberal capitalism and neoclassical economics existed. By the time Kowalik died in 2012, his life had come full circle, as he once again observed world capitalism plunge into crises and right-wing political authoritarianism rise in Poland and beyond.

Full Circle

Tadeusz Kowalik and Poland's Return to Capitalism Through Socialism

America today is being torn apart by the struggle over a single concept, deeply rooted in the country's sense of self: freedom. Battered by wave after wave of crises, ordinary people of all political persuasions have come to feel that their freedom is under threat - and with it, nothing less than the soul of the nation. In The trouble with freedom, journalist and researcher Melissa Butcher takes a trip into the ferociously polarised world of American politics, hoping to find out what's going on beneath the surface. Criss-crossing the country, she talks to a wide range of people: Democrat and Republican, gay and straight, urban and rural, immigrants, First Nations, Black, white, the incarcerated. What she discovers is that political conflict is often the outcome of very personal experiences of managing cultural change. Exploring the different ways freedom has been used to define what it means to be American, Butcher encounters anger and distrust, but also untapped possibilities for empathy and care.

A vast and fascinating chronicle of how gender and sexuality has been used to divide people around the world over the last fifty years &gt;"New movements are alive and moving in the world. Human beings in struggle are creating new feminisms, changing sexualities, and defying genocide. Hope stalks the heart. We have written this book for these new movements." --from the introduction The Sexual Politics of Capitalism offers a groundbreaking examination of how the global elite has used gender, sexuality, and violence to maintain control. Anthropologist Nancy Lindisfarne and writer Jonathan Neale trace the devastating effects of these tactics, showing how issues of gender and sexuality have been weaponized, especially since the 1980s, to make inequality appear inevitable, keeping the powerful in power and the marginalized fighting for survival. Spanning the globe, Lindisfarne and Neale explore the lived experiences of those on the front lines of this struggle. From mass incarceration in the United States to the resilience of queer communities in China, from Black women's battles for AIDS medication in South Africa to the fight against toxic masculinity in world leaders like Putin, Modi, Trump, and Netanyahu, this book provides a sweeping yet deeply personal account of resistance. The authors draw connections between diverse movements--union women in Nicaragua, farmers' widows in India, and bar workers in Vietnam--showing how global forces of capitalism exploit gender and sexuality to maintain power. At the same time, The Sexual Politics of Capitalism shines a light on the ongoing revolts against sexual harassment, rape, and reproductive injustice, as well as the fight for trans rights in the United States. With meticulous research and a passionate call for change, The Sexual Politics of Capitalism is more than a history--it is a manifesto for liberation. The authors invite readers to feel the grief and rage sparked by decades of oppression but also the solidarity and hope inspired by the global movements rising up in response. This radical work challenges us to confront the intimate and structural forces shaping our world and to join the fight for a more just and equitable future.

The Sexual Politics of Capitalism

A major work in the Black Communist tradition by worker-intellectual Harry Haywood, now in a new edition featuring a foreword by Dr. Rebecca Hall and an introduction by Dr. Charisse Burden-Stelly. 
 
In 1948, Harry Haywood, a leading member of the Communist Party USA, published&nbsp;Negro Liberation, a pathbreaking book that lays out his argument that the Black Belt South constitutes a distinct nation and an internal colony of U.S. imperialism. Applying a Marxist-Leninist lens to questions of nationalism, colonialism, and land distribution, Haywood lays out the dire stakes of Jim Crow violence and oppression and critiques the emptiness and insufficiency of liberal solutions. Along the way, he makes a powerful case for Black self-determination. 
 
Framed by Rebecca Hall's moving meditation on her father's legacy and Charisse Burden-Stelly's clear-eyed case for how Haywood reveals the contradiction between ruling-class politics and Black liberation today, this new edition of&nbsp;Negro Liberation&nbsp;is a must-read for anyone fighting against oppression.

Schizoanalytic Applications

Deleuzo-Guattarian philosophy provides crucial insights for assessing the post-neoliberal era in this cutting-edge volume of anti-capitalist scholarship. It maps the critical new assemblages emerging out of decades of neoliberalism to diagnose contemporary and future discontent. Working alongside other forms of inquiry into the post-neoliberal era, the volume proposes a novel combination of ethics and Deleuzo-Guattarian philosophy to understand the post-neoliberal era. Contributors argue that current critiques of neoliberalism ignore the determining role of colonialism and the accelerated threat of climate breakdown. They highlight the precariousness of our planetary existence and propose new forms of inquiry into Deleuzo-Guattarian becoming. Deleuze, Guattari and the Schizoanalysis of Post-Neoliberalism considers new modes of capitalism, societies built on exhaustion, digital power, education, agroforestry, as well as literary texts that characterise the post-neoliberal era. Alongside these critical positions, the volume uses an ethical framework to challenge dialectical divisions in neoliberal critique. In the process, the essays remap the antagonisms, discontents and tensions of current post-neoliberal becoming.

How, and to what extent, can Confucian political theory and 21st-century critical theory be integrated? In the first sustained exploration of the intersection of critical social theory and Confucianism, a team of respected Chinese philosophers demonstrate how Confucianism can incorporate elements from a range of positions in critical theory including Latin American liberation philosophy, Black radical thought, feminist philosophy, queer theory, and postcolonial thought. Experimenting with the boundaries and possibilities of critical social theory and Confucianism, they take up topics such as hegemony, civil disobedience in East Asia, feminist commitment in South Korea, trans and queer trauma in the U.S., revolutionary rituals, and protest art in China. Providing a history of Confucianism, they show how it must be liberated from externally-imposed colonial and self-imposed patriarchal constraints. We see how variants of modern Confucianism meet liberatory challenges in ways that can be appreciated by more radical political theory. At a moment when calls for diversification and decolonization in philosophy have become more urgent this collection expands our thinking and offers a novel and progressive perspective on the modern viability of Confucianism.

Radicalizing the Dao, Decolonizing Political Philosophy

Critical Confucianism

Precariousness has become a defining experience in contemporary society, as an inescapable condition and state of being. Living with Precariousness presents a spectrum of timely case studies that explore precarious existences - at individual, collective and structural levels, and as manifested through space and the body. These range from the plight of asylum seekers, to the tiny house movement as a response to affordable housing crises; from the global impacts of climate change, to the daily challenges of living with a chronic illness. This multidisciplinary book illustrates the pervasiveness of precarity, but furthermore shows how those entanglements with other agents, human or otherwise, that put us at risk are also the connections that make living with (and through) precariousness endurable.

Beyond the Modern

This is the first book to provide a dictionary of terms for design and design activism drawn from outside the Western tradition. Designing and World Making brings together design thinkers, designers and activists to provide short and accessible introductions to concepts from indigenous cultures, from anti-capitalist and environmental movements, and from the Global South. Terms such as Buen Vivir (Living Well) - an alternative to development involving a holistic conception of social life; Commons - ownership and governance of natural, knowledge-based, and technological resources that do not conform to the rules of capitalism and the state; Gambiarra - a Brazilian expression meaning to use improvised methods to solve a problem, with any available material to hand, or Mitakuye Oyasin - a Lakotan term involving a deeply relational view of life and an indigenous theory of radical interdependence. The book offers a new and truly global vocabulary for thinking, designing, and action, one that is attuned to concerns for social justice and the sustainable future of our planet.
