What is wrong with capitalism, and how can we change it?
Erik Olin Wright was Vilas Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin. He authored many books, including Classes, Interrogating Inequality, Class Counts, Deepening Democracy (with Archon Fung), and Envisioning Real Utopias.
A benchmark contribution to necessary radical thinking.
*Göran Therborn*
Only a thinker of Wright's genius could sustain such a badly needed
political imagination without losing analytical clarity and
precision.
*Michael Burawoy*
Hugely rich and stimulating ... An incisive diagnosis of the harms
done by capitalism; a masterful synthesis of the best work in
political sociology and political economy over the past thirty
years.
*Adam Swift, in praise of Envisioning Real Utopias*
How to Be an Anticapitalist in the 21st Century deserves to be
widely read. In 150-odd pages, Wright makes the case for what's
wrong with capitalism, what would be better, and how to achieve it.
This is the rare book that can speak to both the faithful and the
unconverted. You could buy it for your sceptical uncle or your
militant cousin: there is something here for the reader who needs
persuading that another world is possible, and the reader who wants
ideas for bringing that world into being.
*The Guardian*
[An] eloquent and accessible volume.
*ColoradoDaily*
An urgent and powerful case for socialism, Wright analyses
different sorts of anticapitalism, assessing different strategic
approaches, and laying the groundwork for a society dedicated to
human flourishing.
*Dazed*
