The Old Is Dying and the New Cannot Be Born

"The Old Is Dying and the New Cannot Be Born" by Nancy Fraser is a profound analysis of the current crisis of neoliberalism. In a dialogue with Bhaskar Sunkara, the editor of Jacobin, Fraser examines the global political, ecological, economic, and social upheavals that have shaken confidence in neoliberalism. She argues that the disruption of neoliberalism is not only a reaction to current events, such as the election of Donald Trump, but also the result of a long-standing process that undermines belief in the benefits of neoliberal capitalism for the majority. Fraser highlights how the concepts of recognition and distribution were interconnected in the late 20th century and how their disintegration has led to new populist movements on both the left and the right. This book offers a critical perspective on the challenges and opportunities arising from the current political landscape.
