With the rise of rightwing populism, AI, and a tech/finance oligarchy that is openly exerting its political influence, the task can seem more formidable than ever.\n\nBut history counsels against despair. For more than 200 years, industrial capitalism has evolved in waves and counterwaves, some of which are driven by its inner conflicts, some by technological developments and others by political mobilisation. At any moment, it’s difficult (if not impossible) to tell how long the current configuration will survive, or what will succeed it. But the capitalist system isn’t handed down from the heavens and it cannot rest. This has been true throughout its existence. It will remain true until the critics who predict capitalism’s demise are eventually proved right.",
