Cannibal Capitalism

Why are we getting off work later and later, and spending less and less time with friends and family? Why are we busy all day, but our debts are not decreasing but increasing? Why is the air we breathe and the food we eat getting worse, and we are powerless about it? ... Nancy Fraser reveals the reasons for all this in this book: the planet is being gradually destroyed, and the reason is nothing but that we have fallen into 'cannibal capitalism'! Capitalism is like a greedy ouroboros, it is devouring our society, and the bourgeoisie is like a cannibal tribe, living by eating our peers. In this book, the famous contemporary political philosopher Nancy Fraser sharply points out: capitalism is not an economic type but a social type. The capitalist system acquiesces to the society to put wealth on a plate to provide for the corporate class, inviting them to use our creativity and the earth we depend on for survival to eat, but feels no obligation to replenish what they consume or repair what they destroy. Therefore, Nancy Fraser concludes in this book: capitalism is the root of the instability and danger of our society today. It causes a general crisis in the social order, and when all disasters come together and intensify each other, it may swallow us all.
