Capitalism & Capitalist Realism in America

In his bookCapitalist Realism, Mark Fisher argued that part of the power of contemporary capitalism comes from the way it grows from being just an economic policy to a thing that affects our entire psyche, making us unable to imagine a world organized in any other way. Meanwhile, in looking at the Triangle Shirtwaist fire, the convict leasing system,Sorry to Bother You (a film that explore capitalism in the speculative or surrealist future), the effects of discriminatory housing policy, and even our own jobs, we've revealed a few things that we might like to change about our economic system and our future. In this assignment, you'll push the boundaries Fisher talks about and try to imagine something better.

Assignment II asks that you create afounding charter to the new world you've imagined. Your charter should tell me what your society is called, where it is, how big it is, how the economy is organized, how the society is organized, and why you think the decisions you've made in building this society will produce a better future and a better world. You'll also be asked to createan emblem that identifies your new society and its values. This might be a seal, a flag, or something else that you invent.
