!important; float: none;">Argentina, once heralded as the future
of capitalist progress, has a long history of economic
volatility. In 2001–2002, a financial crisis led to its worst
economic collapse, precipitating a dramatic currency
devaluation, the largest sovereign default in world history, and
the flight of foreign capital. Protests and street blockades
punctuated a moment of profound political uncertainty,
epitomized by the rapid succession of five presidents in four
months. Since then, Argentina has fought economic fires on every
front, from inflation to the cost of utilities and depressed
industrial output. When things clearly aren't working, when the
constant churning of booms and busts makes life almost
unlivable, how does our deeply compromised order come to seem so
inescapable? How does critique come to seem so blunt, even as
crisis after crisis appears on the horizon? What are the lived
effects of that sense of inescapability?</span><br style="color:

!important; float: none;">Anthropologist Sarah Muir offers a
cogent meditation on the limits of critique at this historical
moment, drawing on deep experience in Argentina but reflecting
on a truly global condition. If we feel things are being upended
in a manner that is ongoing, tumultuous, and harmful, what would
we need to do—and what would we need to give up—to usher in a
revitalized critique for today's world?<span> </span></span><i
