- Subversion!
Alfie Bown, Srećko Horvat
In
a world dominated by capitalism which is dangerously sliding into a new kind
of fascism, Srećko Horvat's
new book, in the form of an interview with Alfie Bown,
explores the concept of subverting the dominant paradigm in politics,
technology and love. Drawing from his own experience of participating in
different protest movements all around the world, working closely with
WikiLeaks and being one of the protagonists of the Democracy in Europe
Movement 2025, Horvat resists the prevailing
melancholy of the Left by offering new political imagination beyond
traditional concepts.
