'Rigorously argued and radically hopeful' - Grace Blakeley, author of Vulture Capitalism
'Indispensable ... resets the terms of left debate' - Jodi Dean, author of Capital's Grave
Capitalism has created a world of bullshit abundance, where we have too much of what we don't need and too little of what we do. Through this system's pursuit of profits, we have been put on a collision course with social and ecological limits that can no longer be ignored.
We need an alternative. We need radical abundance. A world of human and non-human flourishing made possible by democratically planned production. But radical abundance can't just be voted into existence through parliamentary means, it must be made by taking control of our collective reproduction in the here and now.
Packed with fascinating research and real-life examples of communal planning and resistance, this book will convince you that a better future is possible, if we want it.
