Join us for a talk on ethics and capitalism

Update – we had to reschedule this talk. It will now be at 7pm on Tuesday 7th November.

If you registered for the previous date, you do not need to register again.

The Joy in Enough talks series returns in October with Oli Mould, Professor of Human Geography at the Royal Holloway University of London.

Oli Mould will be discussing his intriguing book Seven Ethics Against Capitalism, in conversation with John Payne, with a Q&A to follow. Please do put Wednesday the 18th of October in your diaries, 7pm – 8:15. The talk will be online on Zoom.

Seven Ethics Against Capitalism, which we reviewed on this site here, goes beyond the usual critiques of capitalism to ask how we should respond. Not in terms of specific policy recommendation, but what sort of ethics might find purchase in a world that seems incapable of challenging capitalism’s dominance. Many of those ethics draw from the Christian faith in imaginative ways, from the radical love described in Corinthians, to the ‘minoritarianism’ of siding with the poor and the marginalised.

Describing himself as a ‘Christianarchist’, Oli Mould’s approach focuses on the empowering and democratic idea of the commons. He combines social theory with Christian ideas in unusual ways, and we look forward to discussing those ideas together on the 18th.
