capitalism Against the confused understanding of our high tech world by both the right and the left this book claims that the emancipatory and future oriented possibilities of our When did modernisation become a euphemism for life getting worse in the interests of the rich Why do Conservatives now advocate change while the left is too often reduced to mere resistance or a desire to turn the clock back What happened to bold visions of a better future for everyone This is a brave and necessary book which makes a powerful case for a serious rethink Disdaining the current trend for folk politics though sympathetic to the urges behind it they sensibly note that The reality of complex globalised capitalism is that small interventions consisting of relatively non scalable actions are highly unlikely to ever be able to reorganise our socioeconomic system Examining the birth of neoliberalism once itself a counter hegemonic strategy and its long term redefinition of the possible Srnicek and Williams suggest a similar and opposite strategy is now needed from the left Even the first goal they suggest the end of work seems utopian at present but they have the chutzpah to see it as but a first step on the road to redefining human civilisation Something which as they observe has been done plenty of times before often from even worse starting points than ours They re also keenly aware of the range of interests sometimes overlooked by the traditional left and talk usefully about ways of building common cause with intersecting but historically non identical struggles from environmentalism to feminism and beyondIt s a very smart book and a visionary one too but I m not sure it ll ever be a bestseller They re very good about avoiding jargon for jargon s sake and in
