I have always found Fraser’s writings very interesting, thoughtful & insightful but this is the first time I’ve actually seen her & listened to her

I came across Nancy Fraser by chance. A serendipitous encounter while researching critiques of postmodernist individualism, What a great and wide-ranging interview! Thank you.

Great conversation and I'm particularly happy to hear Postone's thoughts on antisemitism getting a mention.

The work that Fraser does not mention about Habermas is one defined by Arendtian concerns

Maybe I am dumb but I just don't understand how reproducing life or labour power is a condition of possibility for capitalist production specifically. Care work and interacting with nature to feed and clothes ourselves is a pretext for all kinds of societies not just capitalism. Yes, in capitalist production these reproductive processes acquire a specific capitalist form, but they are not in and of themselves inherent to capitalism. If you take this social reproduction theory to its absurd conclusion just getting out of bed in the morning should be seen as a profit making activity that deserves to be 'paid' with a wage. Not that a wage is ever payment in full because the boss always takes a slice, a surplus. What social reproduction people and other identity political people seek is recognition. But they dont ask themselves what the consequences would be of receiving a wage for housework would be, namely commodification, competition, key performance indicators and surveillance from whoever pays the 'work'. Theres a lot of wishful thinking going on and it is muddy and insufficient. Is a wage with all the crap that attaches to it really the kind of recognition they desire? Isn't the real point and tragedy that capitalism is indifferent to life and reproduction? In other words, isn't proper recognition only a possibility outside of capitalism rather than within it? Fraser has it upside down - money making is the pretext of social reproduction. Birthrates fall dramatically in developed capitalist nations because the young no longer have the money to reproduce life by rearing families.

Afaik, neither Frazier nor any other leftist, worthy of the name, claims that social reproduction only emerged, or emerges, with capitalism.
