Beschreibung

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - A mini source-book on the roots and prevailing features of the contemporary capitalist political economy, Class Talk - Communications Unbound outlines the alternative of economically viable, politically robust and socio-culturally inclusive democratic socialism fit for the 21st Century and beyond. Tracing politico-economic and socio-cultural exploitative behaviours to historical antecedents of feudalism, slavery and colonialism, it defines the age of capitalism, examines the dismantling of the Post-Second World War politico-economic consensus, outlines shareholder control of the corporate, banking and communications systems and details the global privatization of public services and the worldwide burgeoning of commercial rentierism.The book makes visible the web of connections between matters of immense public concern: climate catastrophe and capitalist profiteering, foreign policy and terrorism, the housing crises and the global banking cartel, education systems and politico-economic divisiveness. It signposts the discussions, debates, solidarity and organisational activism in which the poor and workingclass majority must engage if societies are to be built and maintained for the common good.
