Abstract

The future is not predictable. In political and economic terms, we are in unknown territory. This book redefines the nature of modern business. In contrast to recent trends, it has a focus on human-centred manufacturing, and on decision-making which goes beyond a focus on short-term profit. The Liberal Capitalism of the USA and UK is not the only current variety of capitalism. Business is not just about managers, but requires participation and engagement by workers. This pulls together current research and practice, and poses new questions, based on cases. The world has always been unpredictable, but we had allowed ourselves to be comforted by convenient myths. It is time to wake up.

Abstract

"In Feminist, Queer, Crip Alison Kafer imagines a different future for disability and disabled bodies. Challenging the ways in which ideas about the future and time have been deployed in the service of compulsory able-bodiedness and able-mindedness, Kafer rejects the idea of disability as a pre-determined limit. She juxtaposes theories, movements, and identities such as environmental justice, reproductive justice, cyborg theory, transgender politics, and disability that are typically discussed in isolation and envisions new possibilities for crip futures and feminist/queer/crip alliances. This bold book goes against the grain of normalization and promotes a political framework for a more just world."--Publisher's website.
