  • Counting Care Work

    Counting Care Work
    Apr 8 2026
    Many in our society are struggling to provide care for their families or communities. Often they don’t have time to do it and can’t afford to pay for it. The right realizes this and has tried to woo women with a glorified vision of domestic life. Economist Nancy Folbre discusses the early fight for the recognition of unpaid care work as real work, while the economics profession has mainly ignored it, despite its crucial importance for capitalism.

  • Consuming the Future

    Consuming the Future
    Apr 7 2026
    Capitalism has generated vast amounts of wealth by spreading around the world. But as Timothy Mitchell argues, profits are made not just across space but also time, by stealing from future generations, including through military spending. The political theorist and historian of the Middle East reflects on the ways that capitalism consumes the future.

  • The Frankfurt School, Authoritarianism, and the U.S. Right

    The Frankfurt School, Authoritarianism, and the U.S. Right
    Apr 6 2026
    What has the far right learned from the Frankfurt School – and, in turn, what can we learn from Frankfurt School thinkers like Theodore Adorno and Herbert Marcuse to understand the appeal of the right? Paul Fleming sheds light on the fixation of conservatives like Christopher Rufo — who has set about remaking higher education — with cultural Marxism. He also discusses Adorno’s insights into the attraction of authoritarian leaders.
