The book maps out the dynamic relations between the forces at play in politics and the economy in the West through a philosophical analysis of the relations between the concepts of politics and of the economy. It finds that their porous relations inform what it is for humans to live.
Porosity between Politics and the Economy addresses the relationships between politics and the economy in deeply original ways. It is motivated by a sense of urgency derived from both the failure of modern capitalism to fulfill its promise and the consequences of the environmental crisis.
Egidius Berns argues that the relations between politics and the economy are porous, and subsequently, he investigates the consequences of this porosity. By mapping out of a number of conceptual fault lines that constitute the weaknesses of post-industrial capitalist societies, Berns provides a fresh look at the current crisis of western capitalism and democracy.
Finally, the book offers a preliminary elucidation of a path to reform the relations between the economy and politics, by analyzing the web of conceptual connections that link them and inform any possible configuration between them. It finds a way into the future in a certain ethics of restraint and combativeness.
