Radical sociologist David Harvey asks: is it time to look beyond capitalism towards a new social order that would allow us to live within a system that really could be responsible, just, and humane?

In the light of new challenges and opportunities for the human race, the RSA seeks to develop and promote new ways of thinking about human fulfilment and social progress.

David Harvey (1935) è un geografo, sociologo e politologo britannico. Si occupa di geografia, geopolitica ed è attualmente professore di antropologia al Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Nel 1989 ha scritto La crisi della modernità, uno dei testi fondamentali delle scienze sociali sul Postmodernismo.

La RSA, Royal Society of Art è una delle più antiche istituzioni artistiche del Regno Unito. Il suo nome ufficiale è Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce, il cui obiettivo multidisciplinare nasce appunto per incoraggiare le arti, le manifatture e il commercio. Fondata nel 1754 dal maestro di disegno William Shipley ha annoverato nel corso della sua lunga storia i più grandi nomi del panorama artistico e letterario come Charles Dickens, Adam Smith e Guglielmo Marconi.

Does anyone read Time or Newsweek (being sold to anyone who will take them) any more? And when they disappear, who will really miss them?

The problem is that they are both slow and general. The world, on the other hand, is fast and specific.

A few weeks ago I met a magazine publisher. We spoke about the future of publishing and the web. It was an interesting discussion because he knew a lot about publishing and I knew a lot about the Internet.
