Postcapitalism and a World Without Work

Nick SRNICEK / Alex Williams   

Overview

<b>A major new manifesto for a high-tech future free from work</b><br /><br />Neoliberalism isn’t working. Austerity is forcing millions into poverty and many more into precarious work, while the left remains trapped in stagnant political practices that offer no respite.<br /><br /><i> Inventing the Future</i> is a bold new manifesto for life <i>after</i> 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 society can be reclaimed. Instead of running from a complex future, Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams demand a postcapitaiist economy capable of advancing standards, liberating humanity from work and developing technologies that expand our freedoms.
