- Abstract
- Many committed intellectuals and activists share a similar conviction: the pandemic has revealed the limits of the corporate capitalist system and the damage it has caused through neoliberal policies, austerity and the fast destruction of nature. Movements for social justice and progressive intellectuals claim the crisis should be treated as a moment of rupture that will bring significant changes into our lives, our societies and our world. Scholar-activists and movements have drawn countless scenarios for ‘alternative futures’. Most see in the pandemic crisis the confirmation and the deepening of crises they have denounced in earlier work, framing it as the crisis of corporate globalization, capitalism or the Anthropocene, or as a civilization crisis).
