In order to deal with the multiple ecological crises the world confronts, we have to move past capitalism because of its reliance on limitless growth on a finite planet.

Based on the book Construire l’économie postcapitaliste, published in 2023, Audrey Laurin-Lamothe will critically analyze concrete models for postcapitalist ways of reorganizing of our economic and political systems.

Bio: Audrey Laurin-Lamothe is an Associate Professor in the Department of Social Science at York University, Canada.
