Iedereen die wel eens aan verhitte discussies deelneemt, kan bevestigen dat de politiek terug is in het dagelijks leven en dat debatten over corona, wokeness en identiteit al lang buiten de oevers van X (Twitter) zijn getreden. Na een tijdperk van postpolitiek, waarin technocratisch bestuur plaatsvond terwijl burgers hooguit vanaf de bank commentaar konden leverden, staat inmiddels bijna álles onder politieke hoogspanning.Anton Jäger muntte hiervoor de term 'hyperpolitiek'. Hij merkt op dat golven van opwinding zich zelden vertalen in collectieve daden: politisering resulteert niet in politieke actie. Volgens Jäger is dit het gevolg van digitale eenzaamheid, waardoor mensen niet langer via de klassieke instituties zoals partijen en vakbonden betrokken zijn bij het politieke proces.https://www.standaardboekhandel.be/p/hyperpolitiek-9789025317027

"A sweeping intellectual history of the welfare state's policy-in-waiting From Thomas More to Thomas Paine, Milton Friedman to Mark Zuckerberg, centuries of public figures have hailed the power of government payments as a tool for advancing social justice. For some advocates, basic income is a moral imperative, a policy with potential to upend structural inequalities; for others, it's a market-friendly version of the welfare state that doesn't constrain capitalism. By appealing differently to different political sensibilities, basic income has persisted in the political imagination for centuries. In this deeply erudite and original work, Anton Jäger and Daniel Zamora offer the first historical examination of basic income as a policy of convenience--and, critically, as an intellectual backstop for the shortcomings of capitalism. With modern origins in works of neoliberals like Friedrich Hayek, basic income was conceived as a form of market-friendly welfare state-a safety net around capitalism that wouldn't impinge on capitalism. Although neoliberals failed to make the idea a reality, they succeeded in seeding a fascination that would permeate all corners of late-century capitalism, from supply-side Democrats to neoclassical economists and barons of Silicon Valley. Basic income, Jäger and Zamora show, is no mere political sideshow. Amid societies' ongoing search for market-friendly utopianism, it may be a policy whose time has finally come"--

Denouncing racism and celebrating diversity have become central mainstays of progressive politics: for many on the left, social justice consists of equitable distribution of wealth, power, and esteem among racial groups. But as Adolp Reed, Jr. and Walter Benn Michaels argue in this groundbreaking collection of essays, the emphasis seems to be tragically misplaced. Not only does a fixation with racial disparities distract from the pervasive influence of class - it actually legitimises economic inequality.
