SOS Alternatives to Capitalism
Capitalism is killing the planet and its people and yet we are told there is no alternative. This book shows that multiple possibilities do exist, and always have done. Swift dissects history and cuts through resistant thinking with brilliant ideas. He advocates less ideology and more practical transformation based on democratic self-governance, degrowth, social wages and control of financial markets.
