System Change for a Liveable Future

Every day it becomes more obvious that the capitalist system cannot solve our problems. But what kind of system change could work? System Change for a Liveable Future explores our options. How we got into the mess we face now. Why a system based on money is not an option. How the gift economy would work. Problems with common proposals for system change-democratic socialism and the steady state economy. The transition to the gift economy. The nuts and bolts of a revolution. Prefiguring strategies for system change-everyday resistance and autonomous zones. The gift economy and the state. Do we need a state to run society? The Zapatista autonomous zone as a model. Why the gift economy is exactly what we need to end class society and live lightly on our planet.
