Description

'A convincing case for socialist democratic planning as the only way to meet the needs of billions of humans without destroying the planet' - Michael Roberts

In a world gripped by endless crisis and climate breakdown, the demand to reshape our economic system has never been more urgent. Reclaiming the Future by Simon Hannah is a beginner's guide to planning a new economy, taking readers on a transformative journey towards a radically democratic society, where the power and control over our lives are firmly in our hands.

Decades of right-wing scaremongering has tried to consign economic planning to the dustbin, but the need for it is greater than ever – it might be the only thing that can save us from climate catastrophe. In this myth-busting and accessible guide, Hannah suggests the building blocks for a grassroots economy of radical abundance within planetary limits.
