Radical Abundance

A blueprint for escaping capitalism and creating a world of true abundance

'Degrowth or ecomodernism? This book offers a compelling alternative. More than a utopian ideal, radical abundance is the guiding principle of a socialist revolution already in action'

'The crises we face—mass deprivation and ecological breakdown—cannot be resolved within capitalism. We need a pathway out. Radical Abundance delivers exactly that. If you're looking for practical steps to a post-capitalist future, don't miss this book'

' Radical Abundance resets the terms of left debate. With its concrete, compelling, and creative embrace of class struggle as a politics of transition, it is indispensable to anyone committed to building popular power on a rapidly heating planet'

'A rigorously argued and radically hopeful book, which exposes the gross inefficiency of modern capitalism and shows precisely how we can begin to build societies that guarantee a good life for all'
