Fired up about Capitalism

"There is no alternative to free-market capitalism. At least that's what we've been told since the 1980s, when Margaret Thatcher first declared the debate over. Politicians declare it, journalists parrot it, rich people gloat about it, and regular people simply assume it. Of all the weapons of the rich and powerful--the billions stashed away in tax havens, the bought-and-paid-for politicians, their media empires, even their military might--nothing is as powerful in securing their system as their ability to convince us that there is no alternative. But capitalism is a rotten system. It is unfree, unequal, environmentally destructive, globally unfair and culturally pernicious. The good news is that there are alternatives. In Fired Up About Capitalism, Tom Malleson explores the central problems of capitalism: inequality, domination at work, environmental degradation, global injustice, greed and individualism. He maps out some of the most exciting and promising alternatives and calls on young people to stand up to capitalism and build the world they want to see before it's too late."--
