The world is facing multiple crises simultaneously: Climate change, the rise of authoritarian movements, and the exploitation of labour from the Global South, among others. Professor of philosophy and politics at the New School, Nancy Fraser, says "it can’t be a coincidence" - at the root of it all is capitalism.
So how do resistance movements build a power big enough to fight back? And will it take a fundamental restructuring of society?
This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill speaks with professor of philosophy and politics at the New School, Nancy Fraser.

"You must realize that I am far from feeling beaten…it seems to me that… a man out to be deeply convinced that the source of his own moral force is in himself — his very energy and will, the iron coherence of ends and means — that he never falls into those vulgar, banal moods, pessimism and optimism. My own state of mind synthesises these two feelings and transcends them: my mind is pessimistic, but my will is optimistic. Whatever the situation, I imagine the worst that could happen in order to summon up all my reserves and will power to overcome every obstacle."

Been saying this for almost two decades now and only for the last couple of years I've been able to convince friends and colleagues that it boils down to unrestricted capitalism and its effect on everything else.
There really is a noticeable shift in public awareness.
