Shortlisted for the Deutscher Memorial Prize 2023 Capital is currently cannibalizing every
sphere of life-guzzling wealth from nature and racialized populations sucking up our ability
to care for each other and gutting the practice of politics. In this tightly argued and urgent
volume leading Marxist feminist theorist Nancy Fraser charts the voracious appetite of capital
tracking it from crisis point to crisis point from ecological devastation to the collapse of
democracy from racial violence to the devaluing of care work. These crisis points all come to
a head in Covid-19 which Fraser argues can help us envision the resistance we need to end the
feeding frenzy. What we need she argues is a wide-ranging socialist movement that can
recognize the rapaciousness of capital - and starve it to death.
