Alternative Economics, Alternative Societies: NEW ISSUE republicart web-journal

[anna balint]

The new issue of the multilingual republicart web-journal is now online:

ALTERNATIVE ECONOMICS, ALTERNATIVE SOCIETIES
A project by Oliver Ressler

After the loss of a counter-model for capitalism - which socialism, in its 
real, existing form had presented until its collapse - alternative concepts 
for economic and social development face hard times at the beginning of the 
twenty-first century. In the industrial nations, broadly discussed are only 
those "alternatives" that do not question the existing power relations of 
the capitalist system and representative democracies. Other socio-economic 
approaches are labeled utopian, devalued, and excluded from serious 
discussion if even considered at all.

This edition of the republicart web journal presents transcriptions from 13 
videos from Oliver Ressler's thematic installation "Alternative Economics, 
Alternative Societies" focusing on diverse concepts and models for 
alternative economies and societies, which all share a rejection of the 
capitalist system of rule.
