Verso Books | Chantal Mouffe and Wolfgang Streeck on Left Populism @VersoBooks | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 5 hours ago
On the 50th anniversary of Verso Books, Chantal Mouffe and Wolfgang Streeck discuss Left populism, the current crisis of neoliberal hegemony, and the future of Left politics.
Chantal Mouffe is the author of For a Left Populism: versobooks.com/books/3097-for-a-left-populism. Her other works include Gramsci and Marxist Theory, Hegemony and Socialist Strategy (with Ernesto Laclau), Dimensions of Radical Democracy, The Return of the Political, The Democratic Paradox, On the Political, Agonistics, and Podemos: In the Name of the People (with Íñigo Errejón).
Wolfgang Streeck is the author of the forthcoming Critical Encounters: Capitalism, Democracy, Ideas (versobooks.com/books/3655-critical-encounters) as well as Buying Time (versobooks.com/books/2390-buying-time) and How Will Capitalism End? (versobooks.com/books/2519-how-will-capitalism-end).
2020 marks 50 years of radical publishing at Verso Books. Founded by the journal New Left Review in 1970, Verso–named after the term for a left-hand page–began as New Left Books. The fledging imprint sought to invigorate the Anglophone intellectual world with the energy and insight of the best continental philosophy and social theory.
Now, 50 years on, Verso brings you radical voices that challenge capitalism, racism and patriarchy, debate the future of the planet, and offer far-reaching proposals for social and political change.
This video is a part of a series looking back at 50 years of radical publishing at Verso, as well as the development of left-political movements and intellectual landscapes in that time. See them all here: youtube.com/watch?v=veBduK_2dR8&list=PLsDzjQVZ_pAJpDxIN__7zvF6WbIMCO9DC
