Capitalism's Deadly Threat
transform! 2021 looks at capitalism’s impact on the world ecosystem through global warming and the current pandemic and the concomitant economic crisis, with their effects on logistics and borders, the structure of work, healthcare systems, European integration, geopolitical power relations, and gender relations and the economic status of women – but at the same time the breaches in neoliberal hegemony and the growth of system-critical thinking, with new labour-organising approaches and even a new socialist sensibility in the US.
transform! 2021 is the seventh of an annual series reporting on and analysing European and world political and social developments. transform! europe is a network of 39 organisations from 23 European countries, active in the areas of political education and critical social analysis.
