'The most important book about our economy and society to be published in my lifetime' Irvine Welsh
From Paul Mason, the award-winning Channel 4 presenter, Postcapitalism is a guide to our era of seismic economic change, and how we can build a more equal society.
Over the past two centuries or so, capitalism has undergone continual change - economic cycles that lurch from boom to bust - and has always emerged transformed and strengthened. Surveying this turbulent history, Paul Mason wonders whether today we are on the brink of a change so big, so profound, that this time capitalism itself, the immensely complex system by which entire societies function, has reached its limits and is changing into something wholly new.
At the heart of this change is information technology: a revolution that, as Mason shows, has the potential to reshape utterly our familiar notions of work, production and value; and to destroy an economy based on markets and private ownership - in fact, he contends, it is already doing so.
In this groundbreaking, Sunday Times top ten book, Mason shows how, from the ashes of the recent financial crisis, we have the chance to create a more socially just and sustainable global economy.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Our world is on the brink of seismic change - how can we emerge from the crisis a fairer, more equal society?Paul Mason's scorching top ten bestseller argues that capitalism is about to change forever. We are on the brink of a transformation so big, so profound, that this time capitalism itself, the complex, unpredictable system within which entire societies function, is changing into something wholly new- Postcapitalism.Almost unnoticed, in the niches and hollows of the market system, whole swathes of economic life are beginning to move to a different rhythm, in ways wholly unlike the current system of state-backed corporate capitalism. And at the heart of this change is information technology. Mason shows how we now have the chance to create a more socially just and sustainable economy. This is the first time in human history in which, equipped with an understanding of what is happening around us, we can predict and shape our future.
