Description
There is no alternative to free-market capitalism. At least that’s what we’ve been told since the 1980s, when Margaret Thatcher first declared the debate over. Politicians daily declare it, journalists parrot it, talk show hosts acquiesce to it, rich people gloat about it, and regular people simply assume it.
Fired Up About Capitalism forcefully argues that this is nothing but a myth. Tom Malleson exposes the reality of contemporary capitalism – from the widening inequality between the 1 percent and the rest of society, to ecological devastation — and demonstrates that in fact there are many alternatives. By demonstrating a wide range of examples of alternatives from around the world, from the short-term and practical to the long-term and ambitious, Malleson shows that replacing contemporary capitalism is not pie-in-the-sky utopia, but a real possibility as long as enough of us fight back against injustice and insist that a better world is possible.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“A rare and wonderful book.... Fired Up about Capitalism should be widely read both by seasoned activists wanting to sharpen their critique of capitalism and their understanding of alternatives, and by interested readers with little background in these issues.” (Erik Olin Wright, Professor of Sociology, University of Wisconsin, author of Envisioning Real Utopias)
“Most people know that the world is messed up. But most people also believe that there is no alternative. Clearly and powerfully, Tom Malleson shows that another world is possible and tells us how we can get there.” (Lesley Wood, Associate Professor of Sociology, York University, and anti-poverty activist)
“This short book is not merely a critique of the inequality, hierarchy, greed, injustice, and environmental devastation wrought by neoliberal capitalism. It is also an invigorating defense of radical democracy and a welcome wake-up call about real alternatives that already exist.” (Craig Borowiak, author of Accountability and Democracy: the Pitfalls and Promise of Popular Control)
