Out of the ashes of Occupy Wall Street, a new generation of activism has emerged to contest the power of debt over our lives. Is student debt a legitimate “investment” or is it a form of economic coercion that unfairly constricts our individual and collective horizons? In this presentation Silvia Federici and George Caffentzis, New York-based anti-debt organizers and scholars, share their experiences and insights into student debt and the role of the university in capitalist society.
