Indeed, many are increasingly sceptical of the very notion of progress, seeing it as the stuff of hollow political speeches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNevertheless, this impassioned book argues that we are lost without a shared idea of progress. In the tradition of critical theory, Rahel Jaeggi defends a vision of progress that avoids Eurocentric and teleological distortions. Progress here is not an inevitable developmental trend but a kind of compass directing society's never-ending journey toward emancipation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA nimble practitioner of dialectical reasoning, Jaeggi revitalises progress by confronting its opposite: regression. Her analysis—sober and thoughtful, but urgent—reckons with the myriad signs of regression today, including growing inequality, ecological destruction, and above all the assault on educational institutions, critical thinking, and reason itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe task of imagining a human solidarity capable of transcending difference and promoting universal welfare has seldom been more pressing—or more complex. \u003cem\u003eProgress and Regression\u003c\/em\u003e is an indispensable resource for those ready to take up the challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871444324588,"sku":"9780674298019","price":71.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1482073482428.jpg?v=1759880921"},{"product_id":"capitalism-by-nancy-fraser-9780745671574","title":"Capitalism","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this important new book, Nancy Fraser and Rahel Jaeggi take a fresh look at the big questions surrounding the peculiar social form known as \u003cem\u003ecapitalism\u003c\/em\u003e, upending many of our commonly held assumptions about what capitalism is and how to subject it to critique. They show how, throughout its history, various regimes of capitalism have relied on a series of institutional separations between economy and polity, production and social reproduction, and human and non-human nature, periodically readjusting the boundaries between these domains in response to crises and upheavals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey consider how these “boundary struggles” offer a key to understanding capitalism’s contradictions and the multiple forms of conflict to which it gives rise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat emerges is a renewed crisis critique of capitalism which puts our present conjuncture into broader perspective, along with sharp diagnoses of the recent resurgence of right-wing populism and what would be required of a viable Left alternative.
