ABSTRACT

While radical economists have had an excellent critique of capitalism for years, the revolution that we have advocated toward a postcapitalist socialist feminist antiracist economy seems to be slipping further and further out of reach. In this chapter, I will examine some problems with current progressive organizing, as informed and inspired by radical political economic analysis. Then I will suggest an alternative, radical view of our economy and its problems. Finally, I will discuss current developments that could provide the basis for an emergent, liberatory economy.
