Capitalism is not a natural and inevitable consequence of human nature, nor simply an extension of age-old practices of trade and commerce. It is a late and localized product of very specific historical conditions, which required great transformations in social relations and in the relationship between humans and nature.
[book-strip index="2" style="buy"]We are told that the future of work will be increasingly automated. Algorithms, processing massive amounts of information at startling speed, will lead us to a new world of effortless labour and a post-work utopia of ever expanding leisure. But behind the gleaming surface stands millions of workers, often in the Global South, manually processing data for a pittance.
[book-strip index="3" style="buy"]Byung-Chul Han, a star of German philosophy, discusses all the facets of neoliberal psychopolitics fuelling our contemporary crisis of freedom.
