The future of public space must be invented anew beyond both statism and markets

Evidence

MF: I think it is an imaginative task now is for us to think, what is the future of the public? If we can accept that the neoliberal story that the public is over — that story is now over. If the public isn’t going to be just old-style nationalised state industries, state centralization, all of that, what is it going to be like in the future? We don’t know, we have to invent it. — Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk, 2282
