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 do. Through this system’s pursuit of profits, we have been put on a collision course with social and ecological limits that can no longer be ignored.

We need an alternative. We need radical abundance. A world of human and non-human flourishing made possible by democratically planned production. But radical abundance can’t just be voted into existence through parliamentary means, it must be made by taking control of our collective reproduction in the here and now.

Packed with fascinating research and real-life examples of communal planning and resistance, this book will convince you that a better future is possible, if we want it.

Keir Milburn and Frances Northrop from Abundance (https://www.in-abundance.org/) will be here to discuss the book. Tickets cost £7 and include a glass of wine or a soft drink and £2 off the book. Presented by bookhaus.

'Rigorously argued and radically hopeful' - Grace Blakeley, author of Vulture Capitalism

'Indispensable ... resets the terms of left debate' - Jodi Dean, author of Capital's Grave

'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' - Kohei Saito, author of Slow Down: How Degrowth Communism Can Save the Earth

'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' - Jason Hickel, author of Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World
