[S5.5 E05] Anti-Capitalist Chronicles: Mass and the Politics of ScaleStay connected with the latest news from Politics in Motion. Join our mailing list today: https://www.politicsinmotion.orgProfessor Harvey discusses the UAW strike and the transformation of the automobile industry. He argues that mere electrification of the automobile cannot solve the environmental crisis. The sheer scale at which capital is now working is radically different from that which existed in Marx's time. The growth incentive must be dismantled in such a way that allows us to meet our needs. But we have organized our societies around the automobile. We urgently have to start thinking about a political program which is actually going to stop this process of continuously doubling the economy's size every 15 years or so. By not considering the true scale of the problem we're not really thinking through the future consequences of our current actions because in many ways what we're doing is condemning the future by our present decisions.
