Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book follows in the path blazed by Hannah Arendt and Cornelius Castoriadis, where politics is seen as a mode of freedom; the possibility for individuals to consciously and explicitly create the institutions of their own societies. Starting with such problem as: What is capital? How can we characterise the dominant economic system? What are the conditions for its existence, and how can we create alternatives?, the articles examine the central institutions of modern Western societies, market capitalism, representative liberal democracy, and science. To elucidate the problem of depoliticisation, the authors engage a number of thinkers from Karl Marx, Max Weber, Thorstein Veblen to Cornelius Castoriadis, Michel Foucault, Jacques Ranciere, and Stanley Kubrick. Starting with such problem as - What is capital; How can we characterise the dominant economic system; What are the conditions for its existence, and how can we create alternatives - this title examines the central institutions of modern Western societies, market capitalism, representative liberal democracy, and science.
