Biography
Christos Memos is Lecturer in Social and Political Theory at the Abertay University, UK. He is the author of Castoriadis and Critical Theory: Crisis, Critique and Radical Alternatives (2014).
‘This is an original, important and challenging contribution to our understanding of the global economic crisis that continues to shape our lives … Christos Memos provides an all-encompassing account of the 2008 crisis that reveals the ontological and epistemological foundations of our existing social order, and the superficiality of both bourgeois and orthodox Marxist accounts.’ – Hugo Radice, Capital & Class
