Radical Imagination and the Crisis of Power

Back Cover Article (From the Promotional Bulletin)

With what alternatives should life, which is under total attack, be defended today, when everything is privatized, global economic crises are being tried to be solved with austerity policies, ecological destruction cannot be prevented, and right-wing values shape social life?

In Radical Imagination and Crises of Power, Max Haiven establishes a radical line of struggle against the collapse of the public sphere, the privatization of creativity, and capital that prevents imagination and alternative relationships. It proposes the construction of a whole of social movements that will bring common values to life on the axis of radical imagination in order to overcome the crises of creativity and capital that arise simultaneously in line with the dialectical relationship between them. He argues that turning to the common memory, present time and potential, and allowing the common imagination to foster hope, is the only way to stop the capitalist siege.
