Like a shorter version of Forces of Reproduction by Stefania Barca

informative slow-paced

While I appreciate (and agree!) with much of the message, the use of overly academic language and tonnes of repetition made this a really hard read.

Also checked out the audio book which had incredibly stilted and difficult narration. Wouldn't recommend.

Fraser is so clear in her analysis of capitalism that this was kind of a breeze to read. I was surprised to find that there were no points where the book felt too heavy or difficult to understand. The main points and takeaways are solid and intuitive, though I wish there was more supporting evidence for some claims (though these unsourced claims are mostly just common knowledge tbf so it's no biggie, just wanted more places to read about some of this stuff).

A little challenging, and doesn't have all of the answers, but it feels true, and maybe possible. It would be great if all of Trump's tearing down of bureaucracy and democracy resulted in a Socialist overhaul of society.
