Near Futures11
Wendy Brown and Michel Feher, Series Editors
Reckoning with the epochal nature of the turn that capitalism has taken in the last three decades, Near Futures seeks to assemble a set of books that will illuminate its manifold implications鈥攚ith regard to the production of value and values, the missions or disorientations of social and political institutions, the yearnings, reasoning, and conduct expected of individuals. The purpose of this project is not to forgo the near future but to find ways of reclaiming it.
