Albena Azmanova in conversation with Ivan Krastev and Robert Misik: CAPITALISM ON EDGE

The wake of the financial crisis has inspired hopes for dramatic change  and stirred visions of capitalism’s terminal collapse. Yet capitalism is  not on its deathbed, utopia is not in our future, and revolution is not  in the cards. In Capitalism on Edge, Albena Azmanova demonstrates that  radical progressive change is still attainable, but it must come from an  unexpected direction.   Albena Azmanova teaches political and social theory at the University of  Kent’s Brussels School of International Studies. She is author of The  Scandal of Reason: A Critical Theory of Political Judgment (Columbia,  2012) and coeditor of Reclaiming Democracy: Judgment, Responsibility,  and the Right to Politics (2015). She has also been a policy adviser to  the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the European Parliament, the  European Commission, and Transparency International. Her newest book was published in Columbia University Press in January  2020.    Ivan Krastev, Chairman of the Centre for Liberal Strategies, Sofia,  Permanent Fellow of the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM), Vienna   Moderation: Robert Misik, Author and Journalist
