Public Knowledge: New Radical with Aaron Bastani & Alina Kolar

The New Radical is an online series of conversations between Arts of the Working Class and contributing writers for Verso Books, discussing what the new radical means today. Aaron Bastani and Alina Kolar try to determine The New Radical between the news, fact and fiction. They examine voices that make up the realm of thinking and unthinking the mainstream and the grass-roots.

He has written for Vice, the Guardian, the London Review of Books and the New York Times and regularly appears as a commentator on the BBC and Sky News. He is the author of Fully Automated Luxury Communism, out now in paperback with Verso.
