EVENT
Is a system overhaul the only way to a future worth living? Israeli historian and bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari and Japanese philosopher and critic of capitalism Kohei Saito will be discussing this question at Frankfurter Buchmesse.
The event is part of Frankfurt Buchmesse's cultural-political programme “Frankfurt Calling”, in cooperation with Süddeutsche Zeitung and Goethe University Frankfurt.
SPEAKERS
Yuval Noah Harari became world-famous with his book “Sapiens. A Brief History of Mankind”. In his new work “Nexus”, he addresses the danger that the information networks of the present could destroy the future of humanity.
He is a historian, philosopher and author of the international bestselling titles “Sapiens. A Brief History of Humankind”, ’Homo Deus. A Brief History of Tomorrow’ and “21 Lessons for the 21st Century”.
In his bestseller “Slow Down – The Degrowth Manifesto“, Kohei Saito formulates a radical critique of growth in the global economy. He argues for a democratic reform of labour and production from a Marxist perspective. In the academic year 2024/25, he will join THE NEW INSTITUTE as chair of the program Beyond Capitalism: War Economy and Democratic Planning.
