Over a series of bi-weekly meetings the Political Economy Reading Group will read Four Futures by Peter Frase during the fall semester.
First Meeting: Thursday, 9/21, 5pm
Liberal Studies, 726 Broadway,
6th Floor, Conference Room A
“Peter Frase argues that increasing automation and a growing scarcity of resources, thanks to climate change, will bring it all tumbling down. In Four Futures, Frase imagines how this post-capitalist world might look, deploying the tools of both social science and speculative fiction to explore what communism, rentism, socialism and exterminism might actually entail.” (Verso)
All are welcome.
