In Transcending Capitalism, Howard Brick explains why many influential midcentury American social theorists came to believe it was no longer meaningful to describe modern Western society as "capitalist," but instead preferred alternative terms such as "postcapitalist," "postindustrial," or "technological." Considering the discussion today of capitalism and its global triumph, it is important to understand why a prior generation of social theorists...

I was a born non-believer. One of my earliest memories is deciding that Santa Claus did not really exist. Why? He was supposed to arrive in a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer. I knew that reindeer can't fly, therefore there had to be another reason that presents would appear under the Christmas tree. The next victim was the Tooth Fairy. I witnessed my Dad tossing my older sis- ter's lost tooth into the goose mash. I then knew that he was the one who...

Equality 7-2521 lives in the Dark Ages of the future, where all decisions are made by committee, all people live in collectives, all traces of individualism have been wiped out. But the spark of individual thought and freedom still burns in Equality 7-2521, a passion which he has been taught to call sinful. In a purely egalitarian world, he dares to stand forth from the herd -- to think and choose for himself, to discover electricity, and to love...

Authoritarianism is on the march-and so is dystopian fiction. In the brave new twenty-first century, young-adult series like The Hunger Games and Divergent have become blockbusters; after Donald Trump's election, two dystopian classics, 1984 and The Handmaid's Tale, skyrocketed to the New York Times best-seller list. This should come as no surprise: dystopian fiction has a lot to say about the perils of terrible government in real life.

En un formidable esfuerzo de selección, Martín Bergel propone una sugestiva clave de lectura de un corpus que parece inabarcable: a contrapelo de una interpretación de Mariátegui que lo asimila a una tradición "nacional-popular", esta Antología recupera la riqueza de un pensamiento tan tensionado por su voluntad de marxismo para encauzar los problemas peruanos como por la inquietud cosmopolita y el internacionalismo.
Así, en estos textos se...

Bombs destroy a city; an equality bomb destroys a people.
The Equality Bomb, like rent control, is manufactured by well-intentioned rulers who don't understand what they are doing. They, just as advocates of rent control, see disparities among groups in the population, are pained by them, and seek to do good by eradicating them.
"I should sooner live in a society governed by the first two thousand names in the Boston telephone directory than...

Il n'y a que deux moyens pour convaincre les masses de la bonté d'une institution sociale quelconque. Le premier, le seul réel, mais aussi le plus difficile, parce qu'il implique l'abolition de l'État c'est-à-dire l'abolition de l'exploitation politiquement organisée de la majorité par une minorité quelconque, ce serait la satisfaction directe et complète de tous les besoins, de toutes les aspirations humaines des masses; ce qui équivaudrait...

A utopia is an imagined community or society that possesses highly desirable or nearly perfect qualities for its citizens. The term was coined by Sir Thomas More for his 1516 book Utopia, describing a fictional island society in the south Atlantic Ocean off the coast of South America. The opposite of a utopia is a dystopia, which dominates the fictional literature. Dystopian fiction (sometimes combined with, but distinct from, apocalyptic fiction)...

What if women were safe and had full agency over their lives and bodies? What if all spaces were women's spaces?

What if men took a step back from their conquests and surrendered to the natural authority of women?
Gynarchy is a way of life that encompasses personal, political, and social relationships. It is the radical...
