essentially very good analysis which crucially focuses on material conditions. it makes one crucial mistake that neoliberals were so successful to implement, which is lumping all debt into one. there are fundamental differences between private and public debt, the latter of which is a key component of protectionism in the protectionism - marketization - emancipation triad. if nancy fraser would clearly understand the debt, which most of the left and especially european left does not, she would probably arrive with somewhat different conclusions and maybe even recommendations for emancipation from the proper left perspective. one final note: im a bit surprised that she did not mention democratizing workplace as an area of emancipation.
