Capitalist Realism and Education
Wednesday 26 July 2023
19:30 to 21:00
At 19:30 Barrie Selwyn will lead a discussion of Chapter 4 of Mark Fisher's book Capital Realism: Is there no Alternative? The book is available here.
After 1989, capitalism has presented itself as the only realistic political economic system. What effects has this "capitalist realism" had on work, culture, education and mental health? Is it possible to imagine an alternative to capitalism that is not some throwback to discredited models of state control?
Chapter 4, only 10 pages, discusses the experience of education in Britain today, see the following link. Capitalist Realism Chapter 4
