Nancy Fraser on capitalism, gender oppression, Marxism, and the post-left populist moment

Nancy Fraser's many groundbreaking contributions to Marxism and feminism make her a legendary figure on the left. In this interview she talks about many of the ideas that traverse her life's work, including gender oppression, race and capitalism; growing up during de-segregation; intersectionality; the American New Left; debating Judith Butler; and much more. She also discusses a new book she is working on, inspired by the work of W.E.B Du Bois.
