Make Capitalism History

Utopia and Transformation of Society

Our First Book

Make Capitalism History

In this book we present an alternative to capitalism and state socialism beyond money, wage labour, patriarchal division of work and centralised state planning. We discuss the left’s need to explore non-capitalist modes of production and the inability of green or socialist market economies to produce real social and ecological change. We discuss pros and cons of the traditional ideas of reform and revolution and develop an approach to societal transformation based on seed forms of commons practices and social movements.
