Comment from our editors:

Two major political proposals are currently circulating to tackle Climate Change: the Green New Deal and Degrowth. In this article, the author compares these two strategies, stressing their ideologies and consequences. If you need additional resources to better understand the two topics, we recommend you watching introductory videos to learn about the basics of Degrowth here and about GND here.

Crisis of Capitalism, Crisis of Governance: Re-reading Karl Polanyi in the 21st Century
Does Karl Polanyi's work “The Great Transformation” serve to analyse the current multiple crisis and social movements? Nancy Fraser revises Polanyi's concept of a double movement to capture social forces in the aftermath of the economic crisis of the 1930s – on the one side marketization and on the other hand social protection. Fraser proposes to talk about a triple movement and to account for emancipatory struggles. In the lecture, she discusses interactions as well as conflicts between those three forces, in particular conflicting aims of social protection. The lecture presents the content of her paper “A TRIPLE MOVEMENT? Parsing the Politics of Crisis after Polanyi“ in the New Left Review (2013).
