Radical Abundance

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

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

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 truly do. This hollow pursuit, achieved at the expense of both people and the planet, has forced us to confront ecological limits we can no longer ignore.

Radical abundance is the antithesis of bullshit abundance. It is producing more of what we need and less of what we don't; more free time, more biodiversity, more services owned by those who use them. Understanding that we cannot wait for political change under liberal democracies, we have the chance to experiment with exciting communal ways of creating radical abundance now, before it is too late.

Packed with fascinating research and real-life examples showing how we can sustain over 8 billion lives without destroying our planet, reading Radical Abundance will convince you that a better future is possible, if we want it.
