Capitalism on Edge: on Radical Change without Crisis, Revolution, or Utopia

The pandemic has disclosed that precarity, above all, is what grieves the 99 per cent. Albena Azmanova, in her new book Capitalism on Edge, suggest that this presents a unique opportunity for effecting radical change without the help of a terminal crisis of capitalism, grand utopias, or a revolution. We will explore, in discussion with her, the new paths for progressive politics our historical junction has opened.

Albena Azmanova, Reader in Political Theory, Kent, Brussels School of International Studies, speaks.

Professor Kalypso Nicolaidis (St Antony’s College, Oxford) chairs.

Mr Will Hutton (Centre for Economic Performance, LSE) and Professor Karthik Ramanna (Blavatnik School of Government, Oxford) are discussants.
