> The licence to attend provided by Fisher’s approach feels liberating – particularly for millennials whose inability to imagine alternatives to neoliberalism arises in part from their having never known anything else. Fisher’s writing may resonate with those who came of age in the thick of capitalist realism, and who, unlike Fisher’s generation, have no memory of social democracy, precisely because it theorises a loss they can’t remember or measure, but which they’ve nevertheless inherited. This kind of reminds me of a concept I recall from The Great Transformation by Polanyi: that introduction of the modern market to societies elicited quite a bit of opposition from the first generations that experienced it, since they understood what they were losing because they remembered it. Later generations couldn't muster the same energy because they didn't know the loss.
