Die Gespenster des Kapitalismus

01/13/16 • 104 min

Center for Advanced Studies (CAS) Research Focus Global Capitalism (LMU) - SD

Der moderne Kapitalismus gilt als Effizienzmaschine, als Inbegriff ökonomischer Rationalität. Aber ist diese Rationalität nicht zutiefst irrational? Warum sind wir immer noch geneigt, an hergebrachte Vorstellungen ökonomischer Vernunft zu glauben? Und welcher Subjekte bedarf der Gegenwartskapitalismus eigentlich, um sich am Leben zu erhalten? | Center for Advanced Studies LMU: 13.01.2016 | Referenten: Prof. Dr. Stephan Lessenich, Prof. Dr. Joseph Vogl | Moderation: Andreas Zielcke (SZ)

The Economy of the Internal and the External

Capitalism is an expansive system: if it is to remain stable, it must continually incorporate new milieus and spheres of life, new social and natural spaces of economic exploitation.

And how does it change capitalism in return? | Center for Advanced Studies LMU: 20.01.2016 | Speakers: Prof. Dr. Manuela Boatcă, Prof. Nivedita Menon, Ph.D. | Moderation: Prof. Dr. Christoph Knill
