The System Is Built on Insecurity / Astra Taylor

The hand that will rule the world

We need to fight for security in a more robust, collaborative, meaningful sense. We need to go beyond the 20th century new deal fight for social security into something even more expansive, inclusive, and solidaristic. That has to go beyond the human too, because we're beings who are embedded in ecosystems in the natural world. We are not apart from and above nature…That story of human supremacy and apartness is ultimately an incredibly self-destructive one.

Astra Taylor on her new book from AK Press, The Age of Insecurity: Coming Together as Things Fall Apart. "Rotten History" follows the interview.
