Diverse Economies and Livable Worlds
The Diverse Economies and Livable Worlds Series provides a space for rethinking how we represent and enact 'the economy,' how we recognize and theorize economic diversity, and what a post-capitalist politics here and now might be. The coming of the Anthropocene has generated much interest in how we might live differently. Our sense of vulnerability has been exacerbated by a global financial crisis such that there is a growing agreement that economies as they are currently organized are not up to the task of facing the dual challenges of an unethical financial system and increasing climate uncertainty. This series shall rethink economic representation; theorize economic diversity; and amplify a post-capitalist politics 'here and now.'
