  • How to Be an Anticapitalist in the Twenty-First Century — Economic Democracy and Power

    Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.


    This episode explores How to Be an Anticapitalist in the Twenty-First Century by Erik Olin Wright as a systems-level analysis of capitalism, economic democracy, and private power.


    The discussion examines:

    · incentive structures

    · institutional persistence

    · feedback loops

    · hidden system dynamics

    · structural outcomes


    Using Wright’s framework, the episode looks at capitalism as one form of power among others: economic power, state power, and democratic social power. What appears to be a debate over markets is also a deeper question about who controls the decisions that shape work, investment, technology, and collective life.
