After Capitalism brings together leading scholars from across the academy to offer competing perspectives on capitalism's past incarnations, present conditions, and possible futures. Some contributors reassess classic theorizations of captialism in light of recent trends, incluidng real estate bubbles, debt relief protests, and the rise of a global creditocracy. Others examine Marx's writings, unemployment, hoarding, "capitalist realism," and coyote (trickster) capitalism. Media and design trends locate the key ideologies of the current economic moment, with authors considering everything from the austerity aesthetics of reality TV to the seductive smoothness of liquid crystal. Even as it draws momentous conclusions about global economic phenomena, it also pays close attention to locales as varied as Cuba, India, and Latvia, examing the very different ways that economic conditions have affected the relationship bewteen the state and its citizens. Collectively, these essays raise provocative questions about how we should imagine capitalism in the twenty-first century. -- Provided by publisher
