RSA Replay: The Future of Capitalism


source: The RSA      2015年10月22日
Channel 4’s economics editor Paul Mason shows how, from the ashes of the recent financial crisis, we have the chance to create a more socially just and sustainable global economy.
Over the past two centuries or so, capitalism has undergone continual change - economic cycles that lurch from boom to bust - and has always emerged transformed and strengthened. Surveying this turbulent history, journalist and Channel 4 economics news editor Paul Mason wonders whether this time capitalism itself has reached its limits and is changing into something wholly new.
At the heart of this change is information technology: a revolution that has the potential to reshape utterly our familiar notions of work, production and value; and to destroy an economy based on markets and private ownership. Almost unnoticed, in the niches and hollows of the market system, whole swathes of economic life are changing.. Goods and services that no longer respond to the dictates of neoliberalism are appearing, from parallel currencies and time banks, to cooperatives and self-managed online spaces. Vast numbers of people are changing their behaviour, discovering new forms of ownership, lending and doing business that are distinct from, and contrary to, the current system of state-backed corporate capitalism.

http://www.egs.edu Alain Badiou, French philosopher, mathematician and author, answering students' questions concerning the philosophical concept of change. In this lecture, Alain Badiou discusses technical questions concerning mathematics, politics and the philosophy of life in relationship to Gilles Deleuze, Henri Bergson, Heraclitus, Galileo Galilei, Martin Heidegger and Plato focusing on time, space, representation, the relationship between being and change, nature, the distinction between a set and number, the identity of being and thinking, the One and the multiple, void, subjectivity, Plato's cave allegory, truth, exteriority and interiority, the power of the State, the Event, and heroism.

Alain Badiou. The Ontology of Change. 2012

http://www.egs.edu Alain Badiou, French philosopher, mathematician and author, talking about the ontology of change. In this lecture, Alain Badiou discusses Aristotle's concept of the prime mover, the rational determination of God, thinking of change by the notions of division and becoming, the subjective structure of knowledge of being, the relationship between multiplicity and change, the localization of being in a world, the possibility of thinking pure multiplicity as such and the relationship between multiplicities in relationship to Aristotle, Nicolas Malebranche, Immanuel Kant, Parmenides, Heraclitus, Democritus and Georg Cantor focusing on the infinite subject, perfection, fidelity, the One, pure multiplicity, atoms, physics, set theory, extensionality, qualitative difference, intensive difference and absolute identity.

http://www.egs.edu Alain Badiou, French philosopher, mathematician and author, talking about change in a world with respect to being and an Event. In this lecture, Alain Badiou discusses the relation between identity and difference, the logic of being and the logic of worlds, the opposition between being and appearing, existence as the immanent possibility of being, the difference between a thing and an object and the relationship between an Event and truth in relationship to Aristotle, Immanuel Kant, Martin Heidegger and Karl Marx focusing on infinity, pure multiplicity, the point, extensionality, minimum and maximum difference, order-relations, void, the empty set, subjectivity, place, revolution and the proletariat.
