Having started as a housing slump in the United States, the crisis finally spread from the markets to the everyday life of people around the globe. Einstein Visiting Fellow Nancy Fraser offers an explanation for the devastating consequences of the financial crisis: In reference to the Hungarian economist Karl Polanyi (1886-1964), she makes the penetration of the markets into all areas of our life responsible for the extent of the crisis. What we need, in her opinion, are realms of sociality that follow their own logic – the logic of justice, for instance.
But is the theory of Polanyi still up-to-date after all? And is Nancy Fraser’s solution convincing? What are the obstacles for a balance between economy and justice? After a keynote speech, Nancy Fraser discusses these questions with Berlin scientists and representatives from society.
