Albena Azmanova in conversation with Ivan Krastev and Robert Misik: CAPITALISM ON EDGE

The wake of the financial crisis has inspired hopes for dramatic
change  and stirred visions of capitalism’s terminal
collapse. Yet capitalism is  not on its deathbed, utopia is
not in our future, and revolution is not  in the
cards.
In Capitalism on Edge, Albena Azmanova demonstrates that
 radical progressive change is still attainable, but it must
come from an  unexpected direction.  


Albena Azmanova teaches political and social theory at the
University of  Kent’s Brussels School of International
Studies. She is author of The  Scandal of Reason: A Critical
Theory of Political Judgment (Columbia,  2012) and coeditor
of Reclaiming Democracy: Judgment, Responsibility,  and the
Right to Politics (2015). She has also been a policy adviser to
 the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the European
Parliament, the  European Commission, and Transparency
International. Her newest book was published in Columbia
University Press in January  2020.
