This volume of conversations between Alain Badiou and Peter
Engelmann focuses on the concrete political situation in the world
of today. Here the validity and applicability of Badiou's ideas are
tested in relation to the great social and political problems of
our time, including terrorism, migration, the surge in support for
nationalist and populist parties and the growing gap between rich
and poor. Badiou argues that in the age of today's globalized
capitalism, with its division of labour on a global scale and the
worldwide interconnection of information through the Internet,
there are no longer any national solutions. Because nations and
states lose meaning in favour of transnational corporations in
globalized capitalism, resistance to capitalism must by definition
be global too. Only a politics that defines itself as a politics
for all and does not act in the interests of one particular group -
whether a nation, religion or community of shared values - can lead
the world out of the current crisis of globalized capitalism.
