What emerges from this analysis is a renewed crisis critique of capitalism which puts our present conjuncture into broader perspective, along with sharp diagnoses of the weaknesses of contemporary progressive politics, the recent resurgence of right-wing populism, and what would be required of a viable left alternative. Fraser and Jaeggi discuss in what sense such 'boundary struggles' offer a key to understanding capitalism's contradictions and the multiple forms of conflict to which it gives rise.
