Rezensionen

One book from which I drew much courage that I was not wrong to believe that something more fundamental was in play, and that capitalism itself was in question, is McKenzie Wark's 2019 exquisite Capital is Dead: Is This Something Worse? I cannot recommend it too strongly. Many of my ideas resonated loudly with hers. Yanis Varoufakis
