Description
Inventing the Future: A Postcapitalist Society for the 21st Century A bold new manifesto for life after capitalism, this book offers a clear and compelling vision of a postcapitalist society. Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams argue that neoliberalism is failing to deliver, forcing millions into poverty and precarious work, while leaving the left without a clear direction. The authors claim that our high-tech world can be reclaimed as a source of emancipation and future-oriented possibilities. They demand a postcapitalist economy capable of advancing standards, liberating humanity from work, and developing technologies that expand our freedoms. This revised edition includes a new chapter responding to their critics. For those looking for a fresh perspective on the future of politics and economics, this book is an essential read.
