Post-Crisis Perspectives cover

Post-crisis perspectives refer to scenarios after a crisis, possible options of dealing with them, and the importance for defining these scenarios. This anthology seeks to identify paths and perspectives that go beyond the contemporary economic crisis. In searching for a post-crisis perspective it is necessary to deduce how the world/society/economics/institutions could/should be set up/organized on the other side of the economic crisis. What are the viable lines of continuation and stability? Which functions are beneficial and which are not? How should we think about money, debt, institutions, politics, and the Common? The contributions which make up this anthology offer valuable concepts and frameworks for thinking about all these questions and post-crisis society.

«This exciting collection of essays, written by an international set of authors, demonstrates some of the diverse avenues opened by autonomous thought. What unites them are their lucid and creative approaches to the present political and economic crisis.» (Michael Hardt, co-author of ‘Empire, Multitude, Commonwealth and Declaration’)
