The monstrosity of capitalism gains new strength as political leaders fight for a return to growth by dissecting society. Though many nations are rising up against the monetary elite, most North Americans are still zombified. Could some of our monster stories describe the feeling of living in a capitalist system? Will the failure of capitalism lead to a zombie apocalypse or a zombie uprising?<\/p>\n

In Extraenvironmentalist #52<\/strong> David McNally<\/a> joins us for our 2012 Halloween Special to talk about his recent book, Monsters of the Market<\/a>. David describes how Frankenstein's Monster, vampires and zombies might be metaphors for the monstrosity of the system that has become more apparent since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis started. Is capital itself a vampire? Then, KMO<\/a> joins us to further detail the zombie narrative and to recommend some films for this Halloween season. Last of all, we make a big announcement.<\/p>\n

You can find our previous interview with David McNally in XE #30<\/a> and KMO in XE #3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also, You can find David's recent article on the zombie apocalypse in Jacobin<\/a>.<\/p>\n
