 FEW DAYS BEFORE THE MEETING.\nStrike Debt Bay Area hosts a non-technical 
 book group discussion monthly on new and radical economic thinking. 
 Previous readings have included Doughnut Economics, Limits, Banking on 
 the People, Capital and Its Discontents, How to Be an Anti-Capitalist in 
 the 21st Century, and The Deficit Myth.\n\nFor our October discussion we 
 will be reading the first two chapters of  ‘Revenge Capitalism: The 
 Ghosts of Empire, the Demons of Capital, and the Settling of Unpayable 
 Debts' by Max Haiven (You can order it from Pluto Press.)\n\nJoin us – 
 all are welcome!\nCapitalism is in a profound state of crisis. Beyond the 
 mere dispassionate cruelty of 'ordinary' structural violence, it appears 
 today as a global system bent on reckless economic revenge; its expression 
 found in mass incarceration, climate chaos, unpayable debt, pharmaceutical 
 violence and the relentless degradation of common life.\n\nIn Revenge 
 Capitalism, Max Haiven argues that this economic vengeance helps us explain 
 the culture and politics of revenge we see in society more broadly. Moving 
 from the history of colonialism and its continuing effects today, he 
 examines the opioid crisis in the US, the growth of 'surplus populations' 
 worldwide and unpacks the central paradigm of unpayable debts - both as 
 reparations owed, and as a methodology of oppression.\n\nRevenge 
 Capitalism offers no easy answers, but is a powerful call to the radical 
 imagination.\n\nMax Haiven is Research Chair in Culture, Media and Social 
 Justice at Lakehead University, Canada. His books include Art after Money, 
 Money after Art (Pluto, 2018), Crises of Imagination, Crises of 
 Power (Zed Books, 2004), Cultures of Financialization (Palgrave 
 MacMillan, 2014) and the Radical Imagination (Zed Books, 2014).\n
