Podcast appearances and mentions of peter frase

Back in 2011 Peter Frase wrote an article for Jacobin called "Four Futures," later turned into a book, speculating about how politics and the economy might evolve in the future as automation progresses. The four possibilities, outlined in broad strokes, are: communism, rentism, socialism, and exterminism. Fourteen years on, how have his predictions borne out, with the rise of global temperatures, green energy, and artificial intelligence? Subscribe now to hear the full episode!

In this episode, MIRANDA SKLAROFF is in conversation with PETER FRASE, editorial board member of Jacobin magazine and author of Four Futures: Life After Capitalism. Frase presents a case for socialism as a superior alternative to liberal democracy, delving into the critical differences between socialists and social democrats. The discussion also explores the stagnation of electoral socialism in the U.S. since the 2016 election, the reasons behind social democrats' loss of momentum, and the potential pathways to a socialist future

The F-Word is released bi-weekly featuring timely commentaries by Laura Flanders and guests.Twenty-three minutes. That's how long it takes for your brain to refocus after shifting from one task to the next. Check your email, glance at a text, and you'll pay for what's called a “switch effect.”“We've fallen for a mass delusion that our brains can multi-task. They can't,” author Johann Hari found out in researching his latest book. We're paying a price for our stolen ability to focus and maybe that's one of the reasons we're falling for autocrats and punting on solving the world's grievous problems.Can we spare a few minutes to focus on Luddites? Read people's historian Peter Linebaugh, or Jacobin writer, Peter Frase; check out a Smithsonian Magazine's feature by Clive Thompson -- and you'll find that Luddites weren't backward thinking thugs, but rather, skilled craftspeople whose lives were about to be wrecked.Textile cutters, spinners and weavers, before factories came along, those British textile workers enjoyed a pretty good life. Working from home, they had a certain amount of autonomy over their lives. The price for their products was set and published. They could work as much or as little as liked. Come the early 1800s – war and recession - and machines and factories threatened all of that. The Luddites – a made up name - didn't start by breaking machines. They started by making demands of the factory owners to phase in the technology slowly. Some proposed a tax on textiles to fund worker pensions. They called for government regulation. Relief from the harms and a fair share of the profits from progress. It was only when they were denied all of that that they started breaking stuff up. Today, the big U.S. social media companies are facing lawsuits. On January 6th, Seattle Public Schools sued TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, SnapChat, and YouTube for their negative impact on students' mental and emotional health. The U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments next month over the protections the tech industry enjoys under law when their algorithms intentionally push potentially harmful content for profit. What would breaking the machines look like in our time? I don't know. But if Hari's right, it's not just the quality of our lives that's in danger. It's the state of our minds that's at stake. You can hear this week's show, via this podcast feed, with Johann Hari or catch Laura's full uncut conversation that includes, Noam Chomsky, the subject of his next book -- a man with no problem with focus it seems -- through a patreon subscription to theLFShow 

Freddie deBoer joins the podcast to talk about his book “The Cult of Smart,” which argues that many problems in the education system and American society are due to the failure to grapple with the fixed nature of individual differences in intelligence. He and Richard discuss the effectiveness of charter schools vs. public schools, how the economic value of traits changes over time, if American despair is a spiritual or economic issue, and whether college degrees have peaked in value. They also explore their differences over economic philosophy, which includes a discussion of why Freddie calls himself a Marxist, different kinds of Marxism, and how his philosophical outlook relates to his views on genetics and intelligence. Despite Richard being a capitalist, they find much common ground on policy specifics, including the need for less education and the acceptance of billionaires, markets and inequality. They also debate what Freddie's ideas about individual differences in intelligence imply – and don't imply – about differences between groups.

On today's show: The Majority Report continues its memorial to Michael Brooks with his 2016 interview of Jacobin's Peter Frase (@pefrase) on his book Four Futures: Life After Capitalism, wherein Brooks and Frase consider the possibility of various post-capitalist futures where full automation has been achieved and the climate crisis either has or has not been solved. Using combinations of abundance/scarcity and equality/hierarchy, Frase lays out four wildly divergent paths, from the eternal peace of communism (abundance and equality), to the horrors of exterminism (scarcity and hierarchy). Trump refuses to agree to a peaceful transition of power, complains about mail-in ballots. Nancy Pelosi clapback: "He’s trying to have the constitution of the United States swallow Clorox." Lindsey Graham says there will be a peaceful transition after we seat 9th justice. On the fun half: Fauci is fed up with Rand Paul, who continues to insist NY did an exceptionally bad job and only has a low infection rate now because of herd immunity (neither claim is true). Dave Rubin fails to convince Bob Saget that 18% flat tax is good idea. Charlie Kirk waves poetic about how funny Trump is. Biden 2020 BLM "anarchy" graffiti. Footage of protestors pulling signs from U-Haul in Louisville; Laura Ingraham wants to know who paid for that U-Haul. Rep. Kevin McCarthy says protests against police brutality are organized on Fox and Friends. Plus, your calls and IMs! Become a member of the Majority Report at JoinTheMajorityReport.com!

In this fifteenth episode of the Wisdom for Life radio show, hosts Dan Hayes and Greg Sadler discuss some of the issues on the horizon facing us in terms of the types and availability of work.  As further developments in robotics, automation, artificial intelligence, surveillance and logistics take place, the jobs and careers of many people are not just at risk, but likely to be phased out in the coming decades. They discuss a number of the scenarios projected as possible by different theorists , including Peter Frase (author of Four Futures) and the RSA Action and Research Center.  Some of these are utopian, some are dystopian, and some fit in between.  One of the central questions is how people who currently find a lot of their meaning in work, will manage that if work becomes no longer available in the modes they are accustomed to.They end the show by discussing a practice that listeners could engage in – developing a robust locus of meaning disconnected from work within one’s life. Peter Frase, “Four Futures” – https://jacobinmag.com/2011/12/four-futuresRSA Action and Research Center report: The Four Futures of Work – https://www.thersa.org/globalassets/pdfs/reports/rsa_four-futures-of-work.pdf Show Music is by Scott Tarulli – https://www.scotttarulli.com/

Peter Frase returns along with our long-lost founding co-host Richie Rosencrans to discuss how defunding the police fits into a broader class struggle, and why it's so threatening to the political establishment. Peter serves on the editorial board at Jacobin Magazine and is the author of the book Four Futures: Life After Capitalism.

Peter Switzer and Paul Rickard are joined by the author of 'Four Futures: Life After Capitalism', Peter Frase, plus La Trobe University's Geraldine Kennett, Skin Elements' Peter Malone, and Louise Kaye from London. Cafe Conversations: https://www.cafe-conversations.co.uk/

Jacobin columnist and Four Futures: Life after Capitalism author Peter Frase indulges us in some speculation about the world of tomorrow--which will be anything but a return to "normal." Those changes will be dependent on type of class and ideological struggles that emerge in the next several months. With exterminationism looming around the ideology of "scarcity and hierarchy," it is up to us to imagine what kind of better reality might come out of this dark moment.

My conversation today is with Peter Frase, author of Four Futures: Life After Capitalism, and member of Jacobin Magazine’s editorial board.Peter is among the most cogent writers on complex socioeconomic topics I’ve encountered. He dropped out of a sociology PhD program & began writing for a more popular, inclusive audience both through his personal website, and as a frequent contributor for Jacobin Magazine, a leading voice in radical left politics.We spoke about:The past, present, and future of democratic socialismHow economic frameworks create the conditions with human developmentThe technocracy of John Maynard KeynesUniversal Basic IncomeThe social contract of a post-work society. What does “post-work” actually mean?What is leisure time for? What kinds of humans do we wish to become?Thomas Piketty and the new proposals for progressive taxationPeter’s selection of reading for the foundations & futures of democratic socialism

"As technology shifts more layoffs loom at tech companies," Reuters tells us. "PepsiCo is laying off corporate employees as the company commits to millions of dollars in severance pay, restructuring, and 'relentlessly automating'," notes Business Insider. "Apple’s dismissal of 200 self-driving car employees points to a shift in its AI strategy," CNBC declares. For decades, mass layoffs, factory closures, and industry shifts––from the auto industry to journalism to banking––have often been presented by American media, not as the moral choices of greedy CEOs private equity and hedge fund managers looking to extract wealth for them and their shareholders, but instead the unavoidable result of nebulous, ill-defined––but entirely inevitable–– “automation.” After all: C-level decision makers, billionaire media owners, hedge funds, and private equity firms had no choice. No one is to blame, it’s simply the way it is. The logical, albeit cruel, end result of specific policy choices, all decided by powerful moral agents over the past 30 years, is presented as a force of nature, something outside our control, unstoppable and immutable. On this episode, we examine how capital has, for centuries, blamed layoffs and cost cutting on inscrutable developments in technology and efficiency models out of their control, what this pat excuse hides, why it's sometimes true and sometimes not, and and why the media shouldn’t take claims of CEOs’ hands being forced by “market changes” at face value. We are joined by Mark Weisbrot, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, and writer and researcher Peter Frase.

Democrats have had their first primary debates of the election cycle, and it's definitely a crowded field at this point, but one candidate in particular has caught our attention: Silicon Valley entrepreneur and former corporate attorney Andrew Yang. Over the past few months, Yang has rose to prominence promoting a Universal Basic Income plan that he calls the "Freedom Dividend", which guarantees every American a monthly stipend of $1000. But what are the drawbacks of this plan, and how does it compare to the vastly superior Green New Deal put forward recently by Senator Edward Markey and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? Will it help workers gain back control of their economy and their workplaces, or is it a simple bait-and-switch tactic? In this episode, we compare and contrast the Green New Deal and the so-called "Freedom Dividend", provide some analysis on how these plans might look on a local level, and present both strategies within the concept of a socialist economy, framing the argument as a battle between the needs of labor vs. the whims of capital. The Lowcountry is on the front lines of both climate change and a shifting economy in favor of predatory capitalists. Understanding how these two very different approaches tackle these issues is critical. For further critical analysis on Andrew Yang and the "Freedom Dividend" 1.

Many of us find ourselves frustrated with our 40-hour work weeks, wondering about the purpose and practicality of our jobs, and even whether or not work is necessary. We find ourselves questioning our capitalist society’s conception of work—that it’s normal and necessary to commit massive amounts of personal time and emotional energy to our jobs. To conduct an inquiry into the activity we least like doing, Kathi Weeks, Michael Hardt, Peter Frase, and Charles Mudede came together for a Red May panel discussion on the value of work in our society. They conceptualized modern civilization without a population committed to lives in the workforce, and weigh benefits and hurdles of alternative models for our society. Sit in for a conversation on the possibility of conceiving, creating, and sustaining a world without work. Kathi Weeks is Associate Professor of Women’s Studies at Duke University. Her primary interests are in the fields of political theory, feminist theory, Marxist thought, and utopian studies. She is the author of The Problem with Work: Feminism, Marxism, Antiwork Politics, and Postwork Imaginaries; Constituting Feminist Subjects; and a co-editor of The Jameson Reader. Peter Frase is a writer and organizer in New York, studying topics including technology, labor, and eco-socialism. He has written for Jacobin, Commune, In These Times, and other publications. He is the author of Four Futures. Michael Hardt teaches at Duke University. With Antonio Negri he is author of the Empire trilogy—Empire, Multitude, and Commonwealth—as well as Declaration. Hardt and Negri’s new book, Assembly, was published in September 2017. Charles Mudede was born near a steel plant in Kwe Kwe, Zimbabwe. Mudede is a filmmaker whose films have appeared at Sundance and Cannes, and he has written for the New York Times, The Stranger, Cinema Scope, Ars Electronica, and others. This event is part of Red May, a month-long festival of radical art and thought. Our motto is: take a vacation from capitalism. Click here for a full schedule of events. Presented by Town Hall Seattle and Red May. Recorded live at The Forum at Town Hall Seattle on May 23, 2019.

What can Star Trek tell us about life after capitalism? Peter Frase discusses four possible futures in a world where workers are increasingly being replaced by machines — ranging from communist and socialist societies to ones in which workers are literally disposable.

*** This track is a teaser of this week's B-Side, which is available to patrons of the Dead Pundits Society. To listen to the entire episode, join at www.patreon.com/deadpundits *** In this juggernaut of a B-Side, Adam and Aimee begin by briefly breaking down the significance of the midterm election results. Next, they begin a wide-ranging discussion on the meaning of so-called "normie" socialism -- a term that has largely been crafted by opponents of this strategy. They break down two recent blog pieces that are representative of this anti-normie socialism and set the record straight about the meaning of democratic socialism and the role of culture and identity in our project. Adam loses his temper on a few occasions, Alex Jones-style (but no gay frogs were harmed in the making of this episode).

This episode we dive into the criticism surrounding Red Scare and their recent profile in The Cut.  Mostly we discuss the ideology shaped by Camille Paglia, an individualist feminist who aligns herself with the alt-right favorite’s dad Jordan Peterson. We try to appeal for lefty media unity, and find some queer relief from the writings … Continue reading "Episode 18 – Fuck off Paglia"

När den allmänna debatten stirrar sig blind på nuet och dess söliga regeringsförhandlingar målar vi de stora horisonterna. Utgångspunkten har vi hittat i boken ”Fyra framtider – visioner om en postkapitalistisk värld” av Peter Frase vars berättelse rör sig mellan forskning och sci-fi. Vi snackar automatisering och klimatkris. Överflöd mot resursbrist. Jämlikhet eller hierarki. Om vi går en domedag, ett nytt slags klassamhälle, en planering av ”var och en efter förmåga, åt var och en efter behov” eller ett ”Allt åt alla” till mötes.

It’s Bumper Episode Time! We almost took a break from stupid news this episode… until the Telegraph plumbed new depths of unethical coverage for a broadsheet last week with the infamous ‘Brexit Mutineers’ front spread. The only thing they could have done further to intimidate these Tory MPs would be to paint crosshairs on their photos. Which was probably suggested in the editorial meeting (https://tinyurl.com/y7dy3xjs). While we’re diving into terrible coverage, we thought we’d draw attention to the Sun’s ongoing campaign to discredit the BBC as well (https://tinyurl.com/y8bzmrhx). Next up is a new segment called Right-Wing Watch - in which we assess a handful of recent publications or campaigns from right-wing think tanks, bloggers and other thought leaders with considerable influence over the policy and news agenda. With the budget coming up, and greater regulation being considered to tackle obesity and smoking, the Institute of Economic Affairs and Taxpayer’s Alliance have published reports calling for the curtailment of public health measures. You can find the papers in question at: http://www.taxpayersalliance.com/the_efficacy_of_council_public_health_spending https://iea.org.uk/publications/killjoys-a-critique-of-paternalism/ And the links between IEA and big tobacco are discussed here: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/jun/01/thinktanks-big-tobacco-funds-smoking And finally, we have the second half of our interview with Peter Frase - activist, lapsed academic, editor of Jacobin, and author of the book ‘Four Futures: Life After Capitalism’. Last week we discussed the rise of Jacobin as the voice of the American Left (https://tinyurl.com/y7kd4lw6). This week, we discuss ‘Four Futures’, a work of speculative fiction published a year ago this month. The book is a thought experiment envisioning worlds in which automation has reduced the need for human labour - but that may or may not be blighted by ecological crisis and class hierarchy. This forms four potential futures: Communism, Rentism, Socialism and Exterminism. ___ You know the drill: Follow us on FB – www.facebook.com/connectedanddisaffected/ Follow us on Twitter – twitter.com/CandDPodcast Leave us a review on ITunes – itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/connected-disaffected/

In this episode we talk about the book "Four Futures" by Peter Frase. The book shows four possible scenarios for life beyond Capitalism, some much more pleasant than others.   Links: Four Futures at Verso Books The 2011 Four Futures Essay General Intellect Unit on iTunes http://generalintellectunit.net https://twitter.com/giunitpod https://soundcloud.com/giunitpod General Intellect Unit on Facebook

Make the Left Great Again? This week we're giving you part 1 of our chat with Peter Frase, a writer and lapsed academic who is on the editorial board of Jacobin. We spoke to Peter about the resurgence of leftist thought in popular culture - particularly with young people - and all that goes into building a popular socialist magazine in the post financial crisis world we live in. You can check out Peter Frase on his website (http://www.peterfrase.com/) or on Twitter (https://twitter.com/pefrase). Read one of his latest articles for Jacobin, discussing what it means to be on The Left in the 21st century (https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/07/socialism-liberalism-left-frase). Next week, we will run part 2 which talks about his speculative book on four different pathways for a post-capitalist future. Check out his book here (https://www.versobooks.com/books/1847-four-futures). We hit Priti Patel, James Dyson and the hilarious news that tax havens are, in fact, good things. To no one's great surprise, leading Brexiteer Daniel Hannan wrote a cloying article in defence of tax havens... the kind of ideology we're handing our country to (https://tinyurl.com/ybcfyu2x). But perhaps worst of all was The Spectator claiming 'we should thank tax havens' (https://tinyurl.com/y7khgwbw) PLUS, Warren geeks out about GP at Hand, a new app launched by the Department of Health. You can read about that here (https://tinyurl.com/ybgkbsf2) and take a look at it's website (https://www.gpathand.nhs.uk/). ___ You know the drill: Follow us on FB – www.facebook.com/connectedanddisaffected/ Follow us on Twitter – twitter.com/CandDPodcast Leave us a review on ITunes – itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/connected-disaffected/

In this fifth episode of The Future Is A Mixtape, Matt & Jesse discuss Peter Frase's diaphanous, compact and idea-drenched work of “Social Science Fiction,” which revs up & rides out to the sweet page-count of 150 pages, and contains far more ideas than most books three-times its size (ahem, The Circle). Frase's nonfiction book, Four Futures: Life After Capitalism, argues that there are actually four possible futures for humanity. The book accomplishes this task, ingeniously so, by threading together science fiction novels as well as marxist and futurist theories to see what aspects will appear in these futures, and how they might overlap or build off one another. The author doesn't simply re-shuffle the easy card-deck of the Star Trek versus The Matrix techno-binary--that Yanis Varoufakis and other activist-thinkers often cite as the only two techno-futures available. Instead, Peter Frase offers up four possible futures: Communism, Rentism, Socialism and Exterminism. And by coordinating these “ideal types” upon the axis points of equity vs hierarchy and abundance vs scarcity, the author illuminates what these four futures are likely to give us.   Mentioned on this episode:   How Captain Picard Likes His Nightcap: “Tea.

Four Futures This episode is the first in an occasional ‘book club’ series of podcasts we will be doing, in an around the topic of fully automated luxury communism. This episode’s book is Four Futures, by Peter Frase (which is part of the Jacobin series, from Verso Books). My guests on the show are Laura Horn and Phil Davis. Laura is a political economist working at the University of Roskilde, just outside of Copenhagen in Denmark. While her own research has mainly focused on dimensions of capitalist restructuring in the European Union, she has a strong political and personal interest in the nexus between political economy and science fiction. Four Futures is one of the texts she uses in her course ‘Repoliticising Capitalism: Contradictions, critique and alternatives’. Phil Davis is a molecular biologist working in the Biodefense sector in the Washington DC area. He's currently working towards a master's degree in Bioinformatics from University of Maryland University College. Four Futures sits at the intersection of his enthusiasm for both left-wing politics and futurology. His hobbies also include music.

In this episode Matt Wasserman reviews Peter Frase´s book ´Four Futures´. The book is an ambitious attempt to grapple with what climate change and automation mean for left politics. To read Matt´s full article go to http://ow.ly/FSKE30bAcm9

Last week the saw the first in a two part discussion with Francois and Mirjam from the Office for Workspace Studies. Now we return for the second part. The conversation begins with me relating a relatively personal dilemma about some of the work I’m doing at the moment, specifically, consultancy, where it’s well paid but a bit sell out, since the thing they’re buying is not just my labour but also my cultural capital. Francois quite graciously points out that the money earned creates the opportunity to do other work that would otherwise have no space in the economic realm, although I’m still rather ambivalent about it. This then provides a foreground to the following discussion, in which we talk about the tendency to choose service work as a second job, this being something which has traditionally required you to give less of your self away, but now in fact increasingly employs people for their cultural capital as well.* Bringing things full circle, this infiltration of cultural capital into service work is something Francois and Mirjam's present concern for the term talent represents quite well. * I make reference to some articles at this point, one in Jacobin by Peter Frase, entitled "In Defence of Soviet Waiters", and another by Paul Myerscough in the London Review of Books, which this first article links to, on the 17 principles for the ideal Pret-a-Manger worker. https://www.jacobinmag.com/2013/02/soviet-waiters-emotional-labor-customer-service/ https://www.lrb.co.uk/v35/n01/paul-myerscough/short-cuts

Peter Frase joins the podcast to talk about his book, Four Futures: Life After Capitalism, and how the different ways we might respond to the challenges we face could create very different futures. Utopian Horizons is a podcast about utopias, real and imaginary. Each episode covers a different utopia, dystopia, utopian, or utopian movement, asking what they can tell us about ourselves, our society, and our future. Music: The Fiction of Utopian Studies/The Road To Oceania by The Fucked Up Beat.

Will the future be better or worse for workers? Peter Frase says with more tech tools, there's more leisure in our future, as there should be. He also is convinced that capitalism will end. Peter Frase is an editor of the magazine Jacobin, and has a book coming out next year from Verso Press, Four Futures. Also on this episode: Part two of our interview with Boots Riley, a poet, lyricist, MC, screenwriter, activist, organizer, radical, and founder and frontman of Oakland-based hip hop group The Coup. Boots Riley was also one of the most influential voices and leaders of the Occupy Wall Street movement, and is the only known musical artist whose surveillance by intelligence agents has been exposed due to Wikileaks documents. All this, and Laura discusses war, refugees and Dick Cheney's second home.

This week on Belabored, Sarah and guest co-host Peter Frase discuss international solidarity campaigns with American workers and give an update on the situation in Detroit. Then, independent journalist Susie Cagle joins them to talk about labor unrest in the Bay Area, where solidarity can be hard to come by.
