ISBN: 9781849353878 - the operating system: an anarchist theory of the modern state (14 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. What do we mean when we talk about 'the State'? Multiple polls show a growing disillusionment with the State and representative government as vehicles for progressive change, and particularly as means to tame capitalism, let alone as a basis for seeing beyond it. In a quick and readable format, Eric Laursen proposes thinking about the State in an entirely new way - not simply as government or legal institutions, but as humanity's analogue to a computer operating system opening up a new interpretation of the system of governance that emerged in Europe five-hundred years ago and now drives almost every aspect of human society.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - - A work of political philosophy written for a general audience- We're living through a period of profound disillusion with the institutions of the State. A 2017 poll by Pew Research Center found that only 43% of people in the largest Western European countries and only 25% in the U.S. have confidence in their representative assemblies to act in the best interests of the public. In 2019, only 17% of Americans said they trust the government in Washington to do what's right 'just about always' or 'most of the time,' compared with nearly 80% in the mid-1960s. Significant social movements like BLM organize completely outside of mainstream politics and don't aspire to elect people to office.- Given this it's hard to understand why people continue to obey the State and why it's so hard to think of other ways to organize society, even when crises like the Covid-19 pandemic or the US's unending wars in the middle east make it clear how ill-equipped and or damaging state-centric logics are for solving humanity's problems.- The Operating System is the first book in many years to propose a comprehensive theory of the modern State: what it is, how it functions and what its drivers are, and how it prevents us from solving critical problems from climate change to racism and gender-based discrimination to economic inequality. The Operating System helps readers to think outside the State and understand what we need to do to shake it off.…
