DESCRIPTION:For our February meeting we are reading Cannibal Capitalism: How our System 
 is Devouring Democracy, Care, and the Planet and What We Can Do About It  
 (Verso, Amazon) by Nancy Fraser.\nA trenchant look at contemporary 
 capitalism’s insatiable appetite—and a rallying cry for everyone who 
 wants to stop it from devouring our world.\n\nCapital is currently 
 cannibalizing every sphere of life–guzzling wealth from nature and 
 racialized populations, sucking up our ability to care for each other, and 
 gutting the practice of politics. In this tightly argued and urgent volume, 
 leading Marxist feminist theorist Nancy Fraser charts the voracious 
 appetite of capital, tracking it from crisis point to crisis point, from 
 ecological devastation to the collapse of democracy, from racial violence 
 to the devaluing of care work. These crisis points all come to a head in 
 Covid-19, which Fraser argues can help us envision the resistance we need 
 to end the feeding frenzy.\n\nWhat we need, she argues, is a wide-ranging 
 socialist movement that can recognize the rapaciousness of capital—and 
 starve it to death.\nStrike Debt Bay Area hosts this 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
