From the dispossession of Indigenous people and the horrors of slavery to infectious diseases spreading in overcrowded tenements and the vast environmental contamination caused by industrialization, and through climate change and pandemics in the twenty-first century, those in power have left others behind.

In 1890s America Thorstein Veblen attacked a careless acceptance of prevailing social structures, identifying ancient roots for ‘pecuniary culture’ and ‘conspicuous consumption’–realities that promoted materialism and squashed fulfilment. In The Theory of the Leisure Class the worthy Engineer, creating essential products for all, is pitted against the predatory Businessman, exempt from grubby industrial toil and focussed on useless profits.

Why do radical movements and spaces sometimes feel laden with fear, anxiety, suspicion, self-righteousness, and competition? Montgomery and bergman call this phenomenon rigid radicalism: congealed and toxic ways of relating that have seeped into social movements, posing as the “correct” way of being radical. In conversation with organizers and intellectuals from a wide variety of political currents, the authors explore how rigid radicalism smuggles itself into radical spaces, and how it is being undone.

The toll has pushed tens of millions of people to the financial breaking point, worsened social inequity, and jeopardized US democracy. In Sharing Risk, consumer advocate and scholar Patricia A. McCoy draws on the nation’s traditions of risk sharing to argue that society should lift up families by pooling and spreading the financial risks that they now must bear alone.

KI ist keine bunte Wolke, die frei durch den Äther schwebt. Wer nur staunt, wie schnell die Programme lernen, lässt sich täuschen: Denn die KI erschafft sich nicht selbst – ihre Entwicklung beruht zum großen Teil auf prekärer Arbeit. Es sind Menschen wie Anita in Uganda, die für einen Autokonzern in einem stundenlangen Klickreigen menschliche Anzeichen für Müdigkeit kennzeichnet, während ihr selbst jede Pause verwehrt bleibt. Wie Einar, der das infrastrukturelle Machtzentrum einer gigantischen Serverfarm wartet.
