Two Weeks after the Election of Trump
Alain Badiou Speaks in Boston
Alain Badiou is a philosopher, playwright, and novelist, and an Emeritus Professor at the École Normale Supérieure, Paris.
"What is our task today? Reading Trump as the symptom of global
capitalism's political crisis, Badiou compellingly argues that our
task is to bring into existence a strategic choice between
capitalism and communism. Anything less confines us to the
present's democratic fascism. This crucial intervention eschews
fear and despair as it finds hope in the creation of a divisive,
communist politics."
—Jodi Dean, author of Crowds and Party "Approachable and
insightful, and will satisfy both general readers and readers more
knowledgeable about political theory."
—Publishers Weekly
