Why Bernie Is the True Feminist Choice

For feminists, this election presents a clear choice — between advancing the interests of 1 percent of women and fighting for the liberation of the rest

February 12, 2020 • by Nancy Fraser and Liza Featherstone

Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, and their supporters, including those on the New York Times editorial board, are strongly making the case that the time has come for a woman to be president. Warren and her supporters have been especially persistent in these appeals to gender politics. If Bernie Sanders weren’t in the ...

Mass Psychology of Crisis

For a structural analysis of financialization and against the use of “fascism” as a scare tactic

April 23, 2019 • by Nancy Fraser

Mass psychology, new fascism, financialization. The conjunction of these three terms is startling. Its meaning is not immediately transparent. To grasp it requires an imaginative leap.

From Progressive Neoliberalism to Trump and Beyond

Feminism, Capitalism and Social Transformation

February 4, 2015 • by Nancy Fraser and Johanna Oksala

Feminist theorists today are increasingly returning to the insight that ‘capitalist society’ must constitute the critical frame for understanding contemporary forms of women’s subordination and feminist struggles to overcome it.

Democracy’s Crisis

November 24, 2014 • by Nancy Fraser

We are currently experiencing a major crisis of democracy. What is at stake here is the specifically political dimension of a broader, multifaceted crisis, which also has other important dimensions -- for example, economic, financial, ecological, and social. Taken together, all of these aspects, including the political dimension of democratic ...

October 9, 2013 • by Nancy Fraser

For Edward J. Snowden and Chelsea Manning (formerly Bradley): Heroes of transnational publicity -- in gratitude and with admiration.
