A revolutionary new kind of politics – beyond work, scarcity and capitalism.
Aaron Bastani is co-founder and senior editor at Novara Media. He holds a PhD from the New Political Communication Unit, University of London, examining social movements in the digital environment which fail to correspond to the traditional logic of collective action. His research interests include new media, social movements, asymmetric strategies and post-scarcity political economy. He has written for Vice, London Review of Books, Guardian and Open Democracy.
In 100 years' time many of the ideas in this book will be
mainstream, while kindergarten students laugh at our mainstream
economic textbooks. Bastani's genius is to see the future with
crisp clarity, unafraid of the consequences of being right
*Paul Mason, author of Postcapitalism*
One of the most important books to come out of the British left in
recent years. Incredibly ambitious and wide-ranging, but also
well-written and readable, it provides a fascinating glimpse into a
future beyond scarcity and beyond capitalism. Not simply a set of
predictions about an unknowable future, it is a call to action to
those seeking to bring an entirely new world into being.
*Grace Blakeley, New Statesman*
The debate is no longer about tinkering with our current broken
social order, but replacing it: this fascinating book is an
absolutely critical contribution, and a must-read for all those who
aspire to build a new society.
*Owen Johns, author of The Establishment*
At a time when our horizons have shrunk, when instead of striving
for a better world we look backward to old comforts, Aaron Bastani
calls us to dream and struggle for the type of society finally fit
for humanity to live as humans should.
*Bhaskar Sunkara, author of The Socialist Manifesto*
Rousing
*Red Pepper*
In a world where we are constantly told we have no choice but to
accept the status quo his confidence in the possibility of change
is refreshing.
*Socialism Today*
