Capitalism as Envy-Machine: The David Morrison Lecture in International Development
Time: 7:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.
Location: Market Hall, 140 Charlotte Street
About: The dominant effect of late global capitalism is envy: it is not enough that those on top of the social hierarchy must win, but those on the bottom must lose. The talk focuses on three contemporary manifestations of the envy-machine in the global South: consumption (and social media) exploiting the urge to “keep up with the Joneses”; corruption, borne of socio-economic resentment and aspiration; and celebrity humanitarianism, which under the guise of generosity, is an attempt at generating recognition. Each case involves enjoyment — both in envying and being envied — helping to reproduce capitalist development and social inequality. The lecture concludes by reflecting on the possibilities and dangers of deploying envy in the service of social justice.

Ilan Kapoor is a professor of Critical Development Studies at the Faculty of Environmental Studies, York University.
