We are pleased to invite you to join us for a public seminar with Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams to talk about ideas and demands in their new book, Inventing the Future: Postcapitalism and a World Without Work (Verso, 2015)
We live in an era where the greatest mobilisation of people leads to the smallest increment of change, where the future appears to have been cancelled. What is the source of this situation? And what can be done?
This talk will analyse the recent cycle of struggles stretching from the anti-globalisation movement to the Occupy movements in order to uncover a common limitation. In its place, this talk will put forth an alternative path forward: one which liberates us from work and which constructs new modes of freedom.
The event is hosted by the Glasgow Human Rights Network with the support of the Socialist Theory and Movements Research Network and the Center for Russian, Central and East European Studies (CRCEES)
The event is free and will be followed by a reception.
