Abstract
This text makes an argument for putting at the center sustainability of life when understanding the crisis, therefore challenging the hegemony of market-oriented perspectives. The crisis is characterized as a multidimensional and accumulated process preceding the financial meltdown. Its consequences in terms of life dynamics are explored. It is argued that there is an urgent need to open up two debates: what is a live that is worthwhile living, and how a collective responsibility in setting its conditions of possibility could be achieved. Finally the case is made for bringing economic debates back into the political realm.Downloads
