Against austerity, how we can fix the crisis they made

With Richard Seymour. Why are the rich still getting away with it? They get richer, we get poorer, yet protests against austerity are few and protesters appear marginal. Richard Seymour analyses how we got into this mess and why society is being re-engineered in the interests of profit. But this is not a gospel of despair. Seymour argues for new responses to the crisis, following Brecht’s idea that the good old things are over, it’s time to confront the bad new ones. Richard Seymour writes for The Guardian and runs the blog Lenin’s Tomb.
